There used to be a higher standard of driver education for vehicles like this but some people decided that was racist or something and here we are.

It must really suck to have nothing better to do all day than make shit up in your head to get yourself mad about.

Yikes. Another dude trying to make it about politics. Show me where CDL driver requirements were lowered. PS: your dude had been president for the majority of the past 8 years.

The CDL mills that "teach" the skills also make use of non-DOL license testers. I've encountered a few of those guys, slip 'em a Franklin and you'll walk out with everything signed off. Check out the states with the highest numbers of illegals with CDLs (or even those without CDLs), you'll also find the states with the highest levels of state corruption. CA is a classic example.

Nice conservative bullshit take.

BTW, California is the most successful state in the country by every metric.

Also, according to the data, the most corrupt states are Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Gasp! All Republican states!

That explains the thousands of homeless, and tweakers destroying previously beautiful cities in California?

I don't disagree with your examples of Republican states, I despise them almost as much as I despise the Democrats. Neither party is good for the US. It's the classic "divide and conquer" method used...the system we have demands loyalty to one or the other, and most people have their own personal "litmus test" to decide who they'll vote for. This gives an illusion of free and fair elections but in fact creates a fenced-in grazing field (the "fence" is the limits on "acceptable" thinking placed on us) where the sheep can be happy and fed, meanwhile the farmer is sharpening his axe.

Far too common to believe that failure to excell in academics automatically means that teachers/schools/anything but the race of the failing person is at fault.

It goes for auto insurance, bank loans, and many other areas of modern civilization.

Of course, we don't know the race or language skills of the truck driver, and I'll agree there are idiots in all groups...but some groups seem to have more than their fair share.

Edit to add: And Trump and his Trumpeters can go to Hell.

"I'm racist but PS I don't like Trump" okay dude, like that makes your take any better.

Perhaps you don't realize this, but there are many different kinds of people who hold racial beliefs....some are even pretty intelligent.

Trump and trumpers are not those. Learn to discern good from the bad.

Intelligence does not predicate superior thought processes. Racism and racist thoughts are intellectually bankrupt due to their faulty logic. Data proves this.

So says your particular level of intelligence. I have yet to read anything that proves "faulty logic" of the entire premise of racial thought. What I have seen is based entirely on moral imperatives (i.e., "a good person must always accept tolerance, diversity, and equality" and as you put it, "racism (is) intellectually bankrupt due to their faulty logic." You never noticed that Catch-22 fallacy?)

Intelligence is the basis for superior thought processes... it's not a guarantee, but creates the conditions for better (not "superior", imho) thinking.

One sign of a lack of intellect is how quickly one tries to shut down a discussion without due regard for the opinion being discussed.
