UK HGV Driver story .... tells a story.

August 26 News/
ONS: 18% of transport/storage firms are not operating - Gold News | BullionByPost

"At the start of the pandemic last year there was a shortage of delivery drivers for supermarkets, but this time the current HGV driver shortage is believed to be additionally a combination of Covid – forcing isolation of drivers and instructors – as well as Brexit limiting how many EU nationals can work as drivers in Britain. The ONS data breaks down that 8.5% of these firms have paused operations but a staggering 9.1% of these firms have actually ceased trading altogether."

and nobody seems bothered?

Either demand will go down, and transport situation remains constant for now, or shipping costs go up.

Can't see what else happens as the incentives for people to train as truck drivers remains exceptionally low. The driver is also expected to load/unload in many circumstances these days, this is definitely a skilled job, and the pay is below minimum wage?

It spells major screw up in markets at some point in the road ahead... as masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and especially pointless Covid testing/regulation have created a massive log jam in the flow of things.

and there are protests everywhere, that are not reported in the news.

What is there to be concerned about ? Situation normal.

There was no "Gain of Function" Research btw.

Why are people saying that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied? (thesun.co.uk)
