## Resource

For decades, truck driving remained one of the best options for blue-collar Americans to achieve a middle-class lifestyle. In a world where overpriced college degrees were required for the most simple jobs, trucking allowed a man to care for his family with relatively little time or money invested. Now foreign labor cartels are moving in to dominate the industry, displacing native-born Americans while using ethnic favoritism to corner the market. Truck driver and online commentator Justin Martin joins me to discuss how this is impacting workers and making the country less safe.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.
