My feeling is that the trucker protests in Canada and D.C. were ostensibly about masks, vaccines and personal freedom, but a lot of people pointed out that didn't make sense since mandates were lifted, so they had anxiety about something else.

I think the actual anxiety is about being put out of work by self-driving trucks. Truckers can see the future of trucking and don't see themselves in it. Nobody seems to be working on a plan for the millions of workers whose skills will no longer be needed.

How Many Truckers Are There? Approximately 3.5 million truck drivers are employed in the United States, out of which 1 in 9 are independent, and most are owner-operators.
