'They broke their promise': Now black farmers SUE Biden administration for watering down $4bn relief package after white farmers complained the proposed funding was racist
Latest US inflation data raises questions about Fed’s interest rate hikes
A fresh round of US inflation data released last week showed persistently high prices, raising more questions about whether the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes are missing what many economists contend are the real inflationary culprits: corporate pricing, energy costs and supply chain disruptions.
'They broke their promise': Now black farmers SUE Biden administration for watering down $4bn relief package after white farmers complained the proposed funding was racist
The farmers have not received the relief package after nearly 18 months of waiting as the money was stalled in courts due to white farmers complaining the debt relief infringes on their constitutional rights.
So at $5.25 diesel and $4 DEF just fuel is about 90 cents a mile at 7 GPM. Add 50 cents per mile for the driver and you're at $1.40 per mile. If they're paying $1.90 per mile, that's not worth the cost of the rig, tires, insurance, and maintenance. Note that 50 cents per mile for the driver is only $20 per hour at the average haul speed of 40 mph. Add in training, Harassment license, licenses, and fines, Each state has different requirements. It all adds up. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/truckload-market-loosens-again-tender-rejections-touch-new-low
