I'm with you. This smells like a clown operation to me. Why would any legit group want to take a really bad situation (Covid problems, attempts to cancel Christmas and all the current craziness) and make it worse? To make more chaos and make things harder for POTUS, that's why.
There's no panic when things are controlled and people know what to expect. With a truckers' strike, nobody can know what will run short or when. That is designed to create panic and a preemptive run on essentials.
