Trucker convoy? Are you aiding a community in need or?

It's a Country wide protest for vaccine mandates for truckers crossing borders. Not about vaccines most truckers are vaccinated it's to protest gov't overreach.
If most truckers are vaccinated, then I figure most truckers don't mind the mandates?

I suspect if that was true then there wouldn't be a protest. Most of the truckers in the protest are vaccinated from what I understand. It's interesting to watch. Cheers.
Hmmmm, if I had to be vaccinated to cross a border, it wouldn't bother me. I'm already vaccinated by choice. I can't imagine me protesting a mandate to do something that I've already done without a mandate.
I swear, this coronavirus has caused people to lose their minds.CD

Yep, no doubt about that. I presume it choice along with other more nuanced factors that are not well know I would suspect. Anyway, the convoy is big, the longest truck convoy ever apparently. It's peaceful so far but you know other factions will jump on the ban wagon so hopefully it doesn't get detrailed, where violence rears it's ugly head.

To put that in context, I've been able to wear shorts or capris, short sleeved shirts and sandals in Texas in the winter while visiting family. That cold snap was a doozy. My stepdaughter in Austin was without power for a week (they stayed with her fiance's mom that week in another city).

My brother who lives in Houston is working a job over in Connecticut. They got hammered too.
Actually, I get it, because for them, it's more about a mandate (and that ever-present slippery slope) than it is about the vaccine itself. I suspect it's more a protest about having the ability to choose to be vaccinated versus being forced to be vaccinated.Hmmmm, if I had to be vaccinated to cross a border, it wouldn't bother me. I'm already vaccinated by choice. I can't imagine me protesting a mandate to do something that I've already done without a mandate.

If there was a government mandate against drinking gasoline, I'm sure there would be a protest.

So I´ve just spent 3 hours watching the Bengals beat Kansas Chiefs - after extra time.
WHO DEY! (Whatever that means) 24-21.
I probably understood about 20% of what was happening (that might be an exaggeration), but any team that can get into the Superbowl Finals, after a wait of about 35 years, deserves their spot.

"Who Dey" is a shamelss ripoff of the New Orleans Saints' chant of "Who Dat." Who dat is a common cajun saying, as in "Who dat say dey gonna' beat dem Saints?"

Dey? Dat?
Who cares (in Cinci) - they´re in the final, right?

Yes. They are in the Super Bowl in two weeks. If you are still in Cincinnati then, you will get to witness quite a spectacle, especially if they win it. Cities that win Super Bowls basically go bats#it crazy after the game.
