Here's my beef with Hacker News: Nowhere in the article does he say "the problem is a truck shortage."

The article lays out a panoply of variations on 'this job sucks and doesn't pay enough.' Not enough cranes, drivers being underpaid, yadda yadda yadda - his basic point is that the companies and systems that caused the shortage are cashing in on the shortage while the solutions aren't even being discussed because they generally involve paying other people. But some choad on HN went "something something trucks" and everyone is so wrapped around the wheel on the semantics of the issue that you had to come in here like a missionary from some other shitty site to see if anyone will engage you on 2nd order misreading of a very simple article that happens to not make the argument you wanna make.

No. I'm not interested in engaging your straw man.
