We praise democracy most of the time, but we practice it as if we had accepted every argument against it, as if we believed it must depress the level of culture and of public life

Truckers Slowing Down to Save Fuel
Truckers Slowing Down to Save Fuel http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080322/D8VIJCM80.html Old News From Solve
This is not the first time truckers have complained about the cost of fuel. 35 years ago, fuel prices skyrocketed and truckers threatened wildcat strikes. Many of them operate on fixed contracts and have to cover their expenses from there. They shouldn't have to absorb increased fuel costs by themselves. Contracts were re-negotiated then. They will be again. Post new comment |
