This socialist revenge porn from The Other 98% appears to be a made up narrative about a criminal act. Note: the following bust is not definitively corroborated and comes from unnamed sources, but is far more credible than the meme which rests on no evidence.
▪️This incident happened nearly 3 years ago at a trucking lot near Chicago. The driver was allegedly hired remotely just 4 days prior to the incident and had only completed one load before issues rose about his behavior.
▪️ Stories differ between him failing a drug test and being irrationally upset that he wasn’t driving a new truck, but whatever the reason the driver was summoned to be fired in person.
▪️Eyewitness sources say the owner offered to pay him for all his miles, reimburse for the items he bought like a mattress & trash can to outfit his truck, and even a plane ticket to get back home.
▪️The driver refused the accommodations and wanted to remain employed. But the owner insisted on termination and an argument ensued. The driver then allegedly asked if the Ferrari GTC4Lusso was the owner's.
▪️When confirmed, the trucker allegedly replied "Now you'll see what happens when you fuck with me," then ran towards an empty rig (not his), started it up and ran over the Ferrari.
▪️A source said the owner gave chase and was nearly run over by the truck. The police were then called and litigation allegedly proceeded. According to multiple trucker posts on FB, the company pays its truckers fairly and on time fwiw.

▪️I was unable to find any reports since May 2020. Keep in mind, this was during the height of Covid hysteria which might help explain the remote hiring and crazy behavior.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
This is almost laughingly misleading, as it leaves out everything before the letter.
▪️After being repeatedly lampooned by the Smothers Brothers over Vietnam, Johnson finally had enough. One night at 3 am he called the head of CBS William Paley, demanding that he “get those bastards off my back.”
▪️Paley then asked the heads of CBS entertainment to get them to back off of LBJ. However, instead of backing off the Smothers Brothers doubled down, booking a folk musician performing “Waist Deep,” an anti-war song about a soldier being stuck in the mud while “the big fool says to push on,” clearly a dig at LBJ.
▪️At the last minute, CBS cut the song from the pre-taped show to the outrage of the Smothers. They continued to push the boundaries off and on for the rest of his presidency, with CBS sometimes cutting segments that they thought went too far. Basically, it was a soft form of censorship.
▪️It wasn’t until Johnson made his surprise announcement not to run in 1968 ...
