Working on a highway job. Highway is only one lane. Stop light on each end of the construction. I am hauling out of there. Every other round or so at least one dummy follows me off the open lane into the construction. Right around all the barricades, mindlessly following the vehicle in front of them. Its common for them to get out of their vehicle and ask somebody what they need to do. Very common.
I think if most people today tried to immigrate from Europe to the new world of 200 years ago or cross the country in a steer pulled wagon, they wouldnt last a week. Its not hard to see why communist ideology is getting so popular. People like the idea of someone else making all their decisions for them. Its not scary like having to fend for and think for yourself.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

They dont read signs Lee. Not even the BIG diamond shaped blaze orange warning signs on the side of the road.

Here I thought you were going to mention everyone who gathers in online forums and blindly follows whatever the original poster writes. That would be herd instinct at it’s finest.

There is definitely some tribalism going on here Clark
Luckily, you wont die if banished from a TMAN tribe. In fact, you can start your own. if your so inclined

Most folks are in a darn hurry even when they have no clue where they are going today, riding your bumper while looking at their phones. If the sign says 80 MPH limit and it’s all black ice many will be doing the limit with no common sense to guide them.

"A whole generation is being raised dumb and stupid."
Dumb and stupid parents raise dumber and stupider kids... Dumb and stupid parents have let schools/government indoctrinate their serfs.

People dont want to wait for anything.Time is money and everyone is a slave to the dollar.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If the sign says 80 MPH limit and it’s all black ice many will be doing the limit with no common sense to guide them. This reminds me of a stretch of I 90 between Murdo and Rapid city a few years ago. Even a lot of truck drivers that should know better end up on their side.

This might be a good place to ask.......on the back door of some semi trailers it says. CAUTION........HIGH CUBE LOAD. What's that mean?

I saw that on my way to CO for the late elk hunt. The freeway would be slick with lots of wind. Some semi drivers were smart and would pull over or slow down. Saw plenty of them over the years laying on their side.
