What Would You Do if You Could Not Find Essential Products in Any Store?

This is for those who support the Freedom Convoy Protesters.

Today, it occurred to me to wonder what would happen if the Freedom Convoy supporters went into the store and found the shelves empty of the products they need. Would they complain and throw tantrums?

Will they still be childishly angry if they enter all the other stores in the city and find the same thing happening there? Due to their support for a few anti-vaccinated truckers who are clogging up border crossings as we speak.

Yesterday, someone posted an audio recording on a TikTok video. On it, you hear a woman who asked these truckers to stop this protest for a few hours. That way, her diabetic brother could cross the border. A male voice, likely a trucker, said no. This is extremely selfish. I mean how long can insulin last? What do you think?

Semi-Trucks are Extremely Important.

These truckers (Many of them are vaccinated) are the lifeblood of the supply chain. This protest needs to stop soon so that everyone can cross. Plus people need to get the stuff that they require. Everyone is getting sick and tired of this and wants to move on.

It is no secret that everyone, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, is tired of these covid restrictions and mandates. However, we must do our part to avoid clogging up hospitals. And don’t blame the health care workers, they are only doing their jobs. The government or Big Pharma is not paying them for posting their true feelings on social media. It is something they choose to do on their own. There was one TikTok doctor who was getting these comments.

There are hypocrites out there.

Despite this, unvaccinated individuals are unaware that their point of view benefits others. On the internet, these gurus are spreading misinformation, selling snake oil, and voicing their opinions on podcasts. They are also getting paid by crowdfunding sites (such as the Freedom Convoy). One of these gurus was a guest on Joe Rogan’s controversial podcast. And he had made more money than most healthcare workers (this was proven on the website that the TikTok doctor showed in his post). Otherwise, these anti-vaxxers are also hypocrites.

To think of it, these Freedom Convoy truckers are also hypocrites. In protesting, they are refusing to do their job. However, they are blocking the border to prevent their fellow vaccinated truckers from being able to deliver goods. I wish to thank these protesters for creating so many empty store shelves.

Perhaps the trucking association that issued the mandate should find out who the unvaccinated truckers are and fire them. Let those idiots live their alt-right lifestyle and be unemployed like most of us are. They would definitely find it extremely hard to find a job right now. That is what I call freedom. You can choose whether to work or not. What do you think?

The Freedom to Protest.

I don’t mind people protesting, as long as it is peaceful. I don’t like a-holes setting fire to apartments, spreading white supremacist ideology, and blocking the border. Being an idiot, demanding change instantly, is not protesting.

There are not only truckers who are going across the border to and from Canada. There are many vacationers and families are out there who need to go back as soon as possible. They want to avoid being fired from their jobs for being late.

That is what these truckers want, freedom, isn’t it? The privilege to lose their jobs is also there. That’s what is happening to small and medium-size businesses already because of this. Besides disrupting traffic, these people are also disrupting the supply chain.

We all want the rates of covid to go down in hospitals. But it’s obvious from those protesting that this is going to take longer than expected.

So to the truckers out there, please stop and get used to these mandates and restrictions. They will be gone soon. As long as you continue, these rules will still apply, and more people will get Covid. This will put more strain on hospitals. And the healthcare workers will be even more stressed because of these unruly people. The stress may even lead to more people quitting their jobs, too.

A few unvaccinated truckers have now disrupted the entire international supply chain. From now on, it is time to start shopping locally. We wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. Plus it’s good for the environment.

By supporting the Freedom Convoy 2022, you want store shelves to be empty and no supplies for yourself. Furthermore, you support people, like yourself, getting laid off at work. This is what Capitalism and freedom is all about. Blocking border crossings plus empty store shelves equals no work or supplies.

Now let me ask you this: What would you do if you couldn’t find any toilet paper, food or other essentials at any store?
