Continuing a trend tested against truckers starting in the 90’s, governmental officials have now in place rules and regulations against the rest of the majority of Americans. Jack Butts head of the Department of Environmental Control of the Masses, a new department put in effect by newly elected president Chin Lee Sanchez, tells how it will now be for anyone making under $1,000,000 a year.
“From now on all furnaces and air conditioners will be fitted with satellite control systems that will only allow these comfort appliances to work for five minutes an hour no matter what the ambient outdoor temperature is. Furthermore, all electrical appliances will be connected to the satellite control system, cooking must be done in a fifteen minute period and TV sets will only be allowed on during the evening news and Buenos Dias Americano. Computers are no longer allowed in private homes for any reason. Anyone found cheating the system will have frontal lobotomies done.”
“In the workplace, everyone will work from sun up to sun down to conserve electricity and there will be no allowable comfort appliances in the work place. A fifteen minute lunch break will be allowed outside of the building as long as armed guards are present followed by a fifteen minute siesta. There will be no talking among the workers. Everyone will dress in baggy pants and t-shirts.”
“All vehicles will be confiscated by 6 pm tonight. Busses will be provided to take people from their homes to work and back, all other transportation needs will be met by foot or bicycle as long as one wears a florescent vest and a helmet. The goods manufactured here will be sent by electric unmanned trolly cars along the streets to rail yards to be shipped and goods made elsewhere will be brought by rail, then put onto trolly cars to be stored in government warehouses for distribution by the military.”
“All citizens will be required to weigh no more than the height and weight charts allow…after the first notification, anyone over weight will be shot. Any citizen that still smokes or chews tobacco will be sent to concentration camps in WV, if after two weeks of confinement they still do not quit, they too will be shot. Anyone who gets sick will be quarantined, if anyone is sick more than once a year, they will be shot. No one besides the military will have weapons.”
Mr Jack Butts had a final thing to add: “Before any of you think of protesting in any way against the government, you better think again who brought these things upon you…it was not the government, it was the old truckers who sat back and allowed us to test these theories against them way back when…and yourselves for thinking that the truckers deserved what they got…you should have been careful of what you wished for…it backfired on you.”
With a stiff armed salute and a “Hail Chin Lee Sanchez“ Mr Jack Butts got aboard the black helicopter and flew away south towards Mexico City.
I am a long time truck driver, advocate for the disabled and truck drivers, a political and trucking industry activist, writer and published poet and author.

Politically I am just damned well pissed off about how the government of this great country I live in has taken away peoples rights and trampled on the Constitution...are you pissed off too? Let's get busy and get something done about it!
