No Police Means No Commerce

For John, BLUF:  When we can no longer depend on food delivery we will be very unhappy with the revolutionaries, but we will blame "Capitalists".  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Truckers won't go to defunded police zones

From The Don Surber Blog, by Himself, 13 June 2020.

Here is the lede plus four:

A poll of truck drivers found more than three-quarters of them won't deliver supplies to cities that defund their police. No one wants to be Reginald Denny.

Remember him?

Time magazine reported that on "April 29, 1992, he had simply loaded up his 18-wheeler and headed down the road, driving for his employer Transit Mixed Concrete.  Little did he know that he would drive smack into the middle of an angry mob looking for vengeance.

"As his rig crossed Florence, a group of rioters enraged over the Rodney King verdict rushed toward him, pulled him out of the cab and beat him to within an inch of his life.  The attack ended when Damian Monroe Williams took a cinderblock and bashed Denny's skull, fracturing it in 91 places and causing severe brain damage."

I am pretty sure that every holder of a Commercial Driver's License knows the story.

At the end of the day the laws of ecoonomics are immutable.  Sooner or later you run out of other people's money and then it becomes a barter economy.

In the end the Criminals will create their own police force, so they can conduct business.  We won't like what results.
