@krystiangebis Great question. Prefer text codes over passkeys. But the multi-factor is simply overdone. I am going to think about it and come up with a better answer for you.

I want to petition @elonmusk to add a feature where such posts will not show on Fridays.

@freight_Dogs Multi-factor authentication. Like when you have to submit a blood sample to get into email.

🚨 ATTENTION, TRUCKING...
Every week somebody claims they've built the product or service that's going to "change trucking forever."
Funny...
Because according to my inbox, trucking should've been fixed about 847 times by now.
So let's settle it.
Welcome to the @TruckingSense Arena...LIVE on @SIRIUSXM
In front if 1.4 million unique listeners weekly on @RoadDogTrucking
This isn't a podcast.
It isn't a sales pitch.
It's where big claims meet bigger questions.
No scripts or talking points
No rehearsed demos.
No hiding behind buzzwords your marketing team invented after three energy drinks.
Just you, me...your product...and the toughest questions truckers, carriers, and fleet owners actually want answered.
Think you've built the future?
Step into the Arena.
If your idea survives, you'll earn something money can't buy....RESPECT.
If it doesn't...
At least we'll all save a few thousand bucks and another password for software nobody uses or a service that you know sucks based on the REAL people of trucking telling you so!
So here's the challenge:
I don't care if you're a billion-dollar company or a startup in a garage. If you believe your product pr service belongs in trucking, stop telling us...and come prove it.
The gate is open.
Who's first, we are all waiting?

Apparently trucking's master plan is finally coming together.
Not better freight.
Not better pay.
Not better jobs.
Nope..
The answer is...
More compliance, paperwork, software, webinars and algorithms that promise to "optimize the supply chain"... while somehow optimizing everything other than money into a carriers & truckers bank account.
Amazing.
We've built an industry where everyone gets paid to study trucking...
...except the guy actually moving the freight.
Platforms.
Subscriptions.
Dashboards.
Synergies.
Innovation.
Everybody's eating...
except the trucker and carriers doing the work.
Here's a revolutionary concept...
What if freight actually paid enough to cover the truck...and the person driving it?
I know...
That's crazy.
Let's just schedule another webinar to explain why the guy hauling 80,000 pounds is the only one expected to take less.
That should fix it.....but lets call ourself "REVOLUTIONARY"

@JoloTheTrucker The strength of that feeling is directly correlated with how much time I spend looking at social media and the news.

What does it mean to be free?
To do whatever I want without consequences.
No, that's not it.
Doing whatever without consequences is anarchy. It's also not a reality of life. Try surviving in the woods for a week without consequences for your decisions. It won't work out well.
During the pandemic, people would say, "Stay safe!"
I always responded, "Stay free."
Because if freedom can be turned on and off with a switch, if liberty is situational, then it is not freedom or liberty. Our rights to free movement and free exchange were arbitrarily taken away. You may believe that was the right thing to do, but you cannot pretend it is the mark of a free society.
The illusion of freedom is optionality. I can go to the store and have tons of options, therefore I am free. But that's not really freedom either.
Freedom is built on order. That's a paradox.
To be outwardly free, a person must be internally disciplined. The more one has self-control, discipline, and character, the more freedom that person can handle. A person without those qualities cannot handle outward freedom.
In a free society, there must be virtue. The free exchange of goods and money, a free market, requires a certain level of honesty as well as an understanding of value.
Freedom of speech requires the ability to think clearly and some level of civility and politeness.
The price of freedom is morality.
We are free enough to shoot off fireworks. We must also be good enough not to point them at our neighbor's house.
A free society is a gift dearly bought by people we've never met. Not just the Revolution, which cost lives and money. The very ideas of our nation trace back thousands of years. People took time to think, to hone these ideas, to debate them, to sharpen them. Generations that took seriously their gifts and their roles, and thought ahead to the future wherein you and I live.
If we wish for America to be a free nation in another 250 years, we must recognize that we are on the path of materialism, hedonism, selfishness, and that these things will not get us there. They are forms of tyranny, inward tyranny that can only lead to outward tyranny.
Stay free, my friends.

@KirkCenter I look forward to reading this!
Tolkien's work becomes richer the more we dive into it. The Silmarillion, The Lays of Beleriand, The Lost Tales. They are deep works of mercy, redemption, suffering, and meaning.
