Here’s What DOT’s Emergency CDL Ruling Means for Trucking - TT “The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100% broken," Sean Duffy said. "It has become a threat to public safety and it is a national emergency that requires action right now.”

The feds are trying to keep foreign nationals here legally from earning a living. They're forcing states to rescind #CDL #licenses and not issue anymore to purple in the US LEGALLY. Not a peep from #Washington media.

Some small businesses are swearing off tariff price hikes. It's costing them. Most expect to charge customers more, but many are making cutbacks and other changes to hold prices steady for as long as they can.

This is meant to be a "#tariffs aren't hurting the US!" story. But every business owner in it is either reducing what they offer, making their products smaller(ie: more expensive) or firing people. None of this is good for any of us.
