I’m not trying to be a smart ass, I promise, but… and this is a genuine question…
Let’s say they do fly in supplies. How do they get the stuff from the airport to where it needs to go?
Understood. Hire subcontractors. It's done with the mail through USPS. I actually did that job. There is always someone else to do the job. Someone ignorant of the situation will only care about the cash. I am sure there are plenty of people with trailers that would be willing to do this. I hope they succeed with what they're doing, but I won't discount businesses abilities to think outside the box.
so basically modern day scabs
Yes, exactly. I do want the Aussies to crush their Jew controlled Zog machine of a government. I really do. But they also need to block all other auxiliary routes into towns and cities.
That takes care of transport itself, but what of the route? With all highways blocked off, sounds like shit is gonna get real interesting real fast.
All I can say to that is using back roads. It's not impossible. I delivered a lot of shit when I was younger. We did this when there were blockages on the freeways. I want it to work, but I am just posing the issues they might run into.
No, there's not "someone else" to do the job of driving big rigs, especially the road-trains in Australia... nor are there any other rigs to be driven, nor anyone to transport new rigs if the strike is on. If the goods have to be divided up and delivered in pickup trucks (e.g.), prices would be untenable for all the the wealthiest.
Super pricy & expensive goods get .... hijacked. If the prices for goods in the bed of a pickup skyrocket, it becomes a reasonable target for pirates.
I may not know all the dynamics of road trains in Oz. But I do know what businesses have done here. There are a ton of subcontractors that can do the same jobs as big rig drivers. They may not have the Class license they need to deliver goods in a big rig. But they will still do the job. I have seen it done through companies I have worked for.
Prices of goods can go up, sure. But it won't stop people from buying the necessities. The trailers that people can deliver shit in will still have lots of room, and you can place padlocks on them. So stealing becomes a non-factor. But I guess we'll have to see what happens.
The way you stop the delivery of goods is to think about the ways businesses could get around using big rigs. So I pose these questions to Aussies so they can stop it. And why are we talking about the wealthiest purchasing goods? This would affect everyone.
I can't think of anything except freight rail which (I think) lines up with sea ports rather than airports around here. Presumably that would continue to get materials to some factories and allow some shipments out to port.
