Sick of people being inconvenienced & out $$$$ for those who opt to break the law.
Who is going to make up the lost corporate profits? What about families who could not get to work or had no work due to shortages? Last I saw, lost wages were ~$54 million!
I wish they would confisgate trucks & sell them to help workers with lost wages.
Many people live payday to payday. How many are struggling / facing evictions / going hungry because of these asshats?
