Add to it general government stupidity when it comes to taxes and permits for businesses that are making absolutely no money due to being either burned down or looted bare, and it's no surprise when both owners and insurance companies walk away from cities altogether.DaddyBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279350257789459054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-13646817797004245462020-12-18T00:47:05.189-06:002020-12-18T00:47:05.189-06:00Or at least, no TAXPAYING residents...Or at least, no TAXPAYING residents...John T.

Sure, it won't be as good or safe a service, but how long can the domestic truckers and trucking companies hold out before they start starving.
