> [@bing](#): > > seems to me [that Calif gov’ts ban on inde contract truckers] would be an unconstitutional restraint of trade. Seems like that to me also. Interstate commerce clause grants Congress the power “to regulate Commerce … among the several States … .” Hard to figure out why congress hasn’t acted? As I’ve already mentioned I believe the Calif govt’s actual goal in all this isn’t to make it difficult to be a trucker, but to make sure the truckers and the trucking companies pay all their taxes. ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Interstate commerce clause grants Congress the power “to regulate Commerce … among the several States +1 If a trucker’s routes and his business are confined to one state, then he is under the purview of that state’s laws and regulations. Once his business takes him across state lines, then federal laws and regulations come into play. ---

If China attacks Taiwan, be ready for a real mess! This article focuses on Apple but the same would hold true for any major automaker and ANYONE requiring chips in their products which is most things these days. This would turn the world into a complete mess and supply chains would be severely disrupted for pretty much everything. It would make the Ukraine disruptions look like nothing. > **[Apple's disaster scenario is a real possibility, say US and UK security...](https://9to5mac.com/2022/07/07/apples-disaster-scenario/)** > > Back in March, we warned of the risk of Apple’s disaster scenario: Chinese takeover of Taiwan.

Well if an executive climate change emergency declaration is made as promised, this will be the least of our problems. Interesting poll out of New York where 1-3% think climate change is our biggest problem. ---

I believe that TSMC is building a factory in the US because of the Mainland China threat of invasion. The last article I read on it reported that the factory will be in Arizona. ---

> [@cdaquila](#): > > I deleted a bunch of stuff that had nothing to do even with the independent contractor trucker issue. Oh, oh, totally forgot about that issue… lol … Calif gov’t has passed another law about this , I think it on the news the other day. Claim was the bill is to address the 1000+ truckers who complained (via lawsuits) they weren’t being treated fairly by their employer. ---

Do not say that. 🤣 the build is excepted at the factory. just waiting for them to start the build. they say the 2023 builds will not open for a few months, so I hope they don’t make me wait for that. From what I am seeing they are still building the 2022. I guess time will tell. ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > What sort of vehicle are you ordering WW? +1 I haven’t ordered my 2023 Lexus NX 450h+ because they haven’t yet posted any info about the 2023 model prices, colors, or option packages. As soon as they do, I’m off to a dealership, but I wish that Lexus was as forthcoming as the mfr of whatever make and model that you are ordering. ---

> [@weekend-warrior](#): > > so then I Not sure what you were going to say, but waiting f 1 1/2 years for your new ~~Corvette Mustang~~ Challenger, frustrating for sure, but overall doesn’t seem too much of a burden. Compare you vs me for example. You have no ~~Corvette Mustang~~ Challenger to drive for 1 1/2 years. Meanwhile I have no Corolla to drive. The difference is you’ll eventually be driving your ~~Vette 'Tang~~ Challenger … lol … [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/get-ready-for-more-severe-supply-chain-issues/185030.md?page=2) [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/get-ready-for-more-severe-supply-chain-issues/185030.md?page=4)
