Inflation fell to its lowest annual rate in more than two years during June, the product both of some deceleration in costs and easy comparisons against a time when price increases were running at a more than 40-year high.

    Uh, yes to all 3.

    Only 9% of truckers are owner operators. 91% work for companies, the vast majority of which work for large companies like SWIFT, or major retailers like Walmart.

    The vast majority of miners work for large corporations too.

    A majority of farmland is owned by mid-large sized corps too.

    So truckers, farmers, and miners themselves might not be corpos, but they’re labor for a capitalist just like most everyone else. And those capitalist owners are looking to extract the maximum profit possible.

      You don’t seem to understand that most trucking companies, by a VERY large margins, are not large fleets. I worked in that industry for a decade.

      Your hate of capitalism is nonsensical.

        I don’t hate capitalism anymore than I hate natural gas. I would rather cook with it instead of inhaling it.

        It has its uses and limitations.
