Congress has failed to handle: debt-financing of illegal wars and killing since at least 1980. It would probably make more sense to make sustainable food pack

Congress has failed to handle: debt-financing of illegal wars and killing since at least 1980.
It would probably make more sense to make sustainable food packaging out of subsidized crops than to make biofuels. But then they'd be cutting into oil's margin.
Why do you think that people are moving here while the US Government makes war - land, sea, and economic - in their countries?
Why are they turning talent away?

how to quantify the shortage of truck drivers
An LLM:
> The "shortage" is quantified differently depending on the methodology:
> Industry Estimates (ATA): Uses economic modeling to project a gap of tens of thousands of drivers, potentially growing to over 160,000 in the coming years.
> Skeptical View (OOIDA, BLS analysis): Points to high driver turnover and a large number of annual CDL issuances as evidence that a true, market-wide labor shortage does not exist, but rather a problem with driver retention and working conditions.
Turnover and working conditions are causes of the trucking labor shortage
Can that even be measured without BLS data for October?
I feel like they're screwing over 200,000 people that were just doing the job, in order to pander to the otherwise ineffectual xenophobes (that they've weakly attached to the narcissism of for fear of abandonment by their hater friends they can't escape and so must appease).
How could we identify periods of strong growth in jobs and wages?
How could we measure whether or not trickling load orders are being filled?
> "Constrain the labor supply by any legal means necessary"
That is neither conservative, nor libertarian, nor laissez faire.
That isn't fiscally conservative.
(Dumbly f bullying the economy that way is likely to create costs for real citizens and future administrations.)
That isn't strict constructionist conservative.
(Nowhere in the Constitution does it say to levy unnecessary taxes in times of unprecedented debt and peace, or to off 200K drivers that the federal government granted work permits to)
