This week, saw a question that asked what's the Democrats problem? Trump gives you political gold every day and yet you can't do anything with it. Well, this comment about small businesses is gold and should have legs. Unless, somehow Trump proves accurate.

Ah yes. Fluent English is required to interpret "right lane closed."
Here's the thing about you MAGAs: you're always saying that X or Y needs to be done because otherwise catastrophe. But you have no explanation for how we've managed to avoid that catastrophe for generations without doing your stupid MAGA things. Like Trump says that Canada doesn't work as a country, only as a state. Oh, really? So the last 125 years of it working as a country just didn't happen?
Same thing here: we've had immigrant truck drivers for generations. Somehow they've managed to do their jobs just fine up until now. Are you telling us that the accident rate for non-fluent English speakers is particularly high? Link?
Probably you don't know that there's so much automation in truck cabs these days that no driver has to interpret signs on his own. Not only does the computer system recognize it, but it literally will not let the driver ignore the sign's instructions (or at least makes it very difficult and perhaps costly to do so).

Just as accurate he was about stopping the Ukraine War on Day 1. Lies and obfuscation.

Hard to tell if he was just drunk or couldnt read (or just an illegal).

This Jim Crow logic fell out of favor long ago, along with names like Orval Faubus.Hard to tell if he was just drunk or couldnt read (or just an illegal).

You're literally taking a stereotype drawn from isolated members of an ethnic group, and then applying that stereotype to others. And you wonder why people see wuffies as stupid and racist. That's about as racist as it gets.

No,that is your opinion. I dont see a problem with requiring those entering the US legally, obtaining a job that requires driving and following all our laws. I suppose you think signage should be in 10 different languages too.
Learn the language of the country you wish reside -it helps everyone.
16 times he was asked to leave !
"isolated "my arse
I bet he liked Budweiser though.

The writing on road signs in this country is at about a 3rd grade comprehension level. Is this really a challenge?
Plus the vast majority of road signs are accompanied by visual signals, shape, color, pictures.

That's great and all, but it has nothing to do with what you said. This is what you wrote:
"Hard to tell if he was just drunk or couldnt read (or just an illegal)."
That is extremely racist. Fact. You are assuming that his ethnicity was the reason for the crash.

I didn't have time to read the article, but when scrolling yesterday there was an article about the education system in the US. The premise was how do we fix an education system that has produced a national average of 3rd grade level reading. It must be a really broken system if the national average reading level is truly at a 3rd grade level.

You must have misinterpreted the article. The average American reads at a much higher level than 3rd grade. I mean, 40% of 18-24 year olds are enrolled in college, and according to this website, 60% of people go to college immediately after HS or GED.

Does this help?
- Average Reading Level:
- The Literacy Project reports that the average American reads at a 7th to 8th-grade level.
- This means that most people can understand and use language at the level expected of students in the 7th and 8th grades.
- Variability:
- It's important to note that the average reading level can differ depending on a person's age and educational background.
Literacy Levels Among American Adults
- Challenges Faced:
- Over half of American adults (54%) read below a sixth-grade level.
- Almost 1 in 5 adults reads below a third-grade level, showing significant gaps in reading ability.
- Overall Literacy Rates:
- 4 out of 5 adults in the US are considered literate.
- However, more than 130 million adults have low literacy skills.
