PC (political correctness) is the refuge of the ill-informed and of those who refuse to accept responsibility for their words or actions.
How should you have said it is the question you should have asked. The answer: The company hired dozens of immigrants here on work Visas.

You have a bad habit of posting sh#t links without attribution, which is reason no. 263 not to click on random links from confederates.

English is his second language and often times immigrants whose English isn't as good as native English/American speaking citizens prefer or request someone who speaks and understands their language to act as an interrupter for them especially when it comes to something dealing with a technical or legal issue.. His asking for an interrupter isn't an issue.

You are the confederate.
With a small-c. Nothing proper about you.
So what does this link you posted actually say? Asking, because you also have a bad habit of not even reading the articles you post.

Except they were all Africans who came here on work Visas. Drove 90 days then went home for 30. It was obvious part of their business plan was to recruit drivers from Africa.Number6 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 12:34 pm PC (political correctness) is the refuge of the ill-informed and of those who refuse to accept responsibility for their words or actions.

It is a great plan. They put those guys in lease trucks and also leased them the trailers. For 90 days those drivers lived in the truck. All they did was drive never asking for time off.
But for some reason in the liberal mind saying that the drivers were Africans because they were from Africa is racist.

His link comes from The Denver Channel, the ABC affiliate in Denver. The link does says In August in Kansas and in December in Indiana, the driver or drivers of one of the fleet's trucks, plate TX-R375344, was found to have violated a rule requiring drivers to “understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language.” Another violation says: “Driver cannot read or speak the English language sufficiently to respond to official inquiries.”carmenjonze wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 12:43 pm You have a bad habit of posting sh#t links without attribution, which is reason no. 263 not to click on random links from confederates.

What the link does not identify whether Aguilera-Mederos was ever cited for not being able to understand highway traffic signs and signals in English.
His link also says Over that time period, drivers have been hit three times for having chafing or kinking on their brake tubes and also for having their brakes out of adjustment, respectively.
Drivers for the company were also found to have three violations for having an automatic airbrake adjustment system that failed to compensate for wear, and one was found to have inadequate brake tubing or hoses, among other violations.
I still wonder what responsibility the company has concerning his brakes.

the main reason is your ugly history of anti-Black, anti-immigrant statements and behavior around here.
It's not in some abstract "liberal mind." It's what you put in print and how you act, right here on this board.

Re: Out of whack?
"PC" is a cop out Glenn. Once again you inject race into the discussion. The drivers were on A Work Visa. All you had to write was that. How about the company hire Alien Nationals on a Work Visa to do the driving. You made their race as issue without needing to do so. Their race was only important to YOU as the White Man who worked with them.

He's pretty trying to shout it as a matter of fact.

Re: Out of whack?
Yes, it was mostly a fluff piece. i only posted it for one reason.......a quote by the driver.....
i take it that's a quote by Aguilera-Mederos. It's the tunnel vision i previously mentioned.Aguilera-Mederos spoke to a reporter with CBS4 from the local jail. “I am crying all the time, I think about it and I have flashbacks,” he told journalist Rick Sallinger before he was sentenced.
He told Sallinger he tried to avoid the vehicles. “My life is not a happy life. It is a very sad life because four people died,” he said in that interview.
The station reported that he could have pulled off a runaway truck ramp, but explained, “When you lost your brakes, your mind is blocking.”
You can't be fooled by violations given in DOT checks. Especially if the "tucking" company contracts to pull other companies trailers. It doesn't matter if the trailer is in another companies name. The driver, and the "trucking" company, he drives for get the violation. So far i have yet to determine whether or not the trailer was owned by the company Aguilera-Mederos drove for. It matters in that the truck can be seen smoking brakes but not the trailer. The companies truck brakes may have been fine. And, if it's not reported by previous drivers, the company that owns the trailer may not have known there was a problem.*
*It's a problem in the industry. Some trailers are shuffled from spot to spot. If a driver doesn't properly fill out the inspection report problems never make it back to the owner of the trailer. The next driver that picks up the trailer may catch the problem, but in most cases will pull it anyhow. Reason being, if the trailer doesn't move the trucking company can't make money. If the company can't make money, the driver doesn't make money. Bottom line, It was Aguilera-Mederos responsibility to make sure the brakes were working properly.

Re: Out of whack?
PC is language used by Conservatives because they feel they are picked on. The drivers are human beings Glenn, you reduced them to the color of their skin. You felt the need to reduce them to their race.
YOU injected the race of the drivers into the discussions. You could have written that the company brought Alien Nationals into the country on Work Visas, you did not not. You used their race.
The race and/or country of origin was not important....execpt to you. The drivers were in the United States legally. They were not breaking immigration law. You are the one who reduced them to their color of their skin.
You injected race Glenn, you do not get to bitch being called out on doing so.

Re: Out of whack?
That’s not the definition.
Plenty of people disagree with me. But since I’m not a conservative conformist, I don’t care one way or the other if someone agrees with me or not, on any subject. Why should I.
But you, being a white supremacist and confederate, aren’t simply anti-Black. You’re also anti-woman, anti-girl, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, and a commiebaiter.
When challenged on these things, first thing you do is run crying PC, chicago, cancel culture, CRT teaches children to hate, I’m gunna sue, and other council of conservative citizens crapola.
As I said, you’re lucky I even speak to you confederates at all.

Re: Out of whack?
Where exactly did you derive this non-definition/definition from Glenn because you are as usual full of shit.
You're racist Glenn. You have attacked CRT (taught btw in law school) because, "It teaches White Children to hate their history". CRT IS NOT TAUGHT IN GRADE SCHOOL.
You attacked Carmen over her factual posting of the Tulsa Massacre.
You attacked Carmen because she supports taking the Statues of Confederate Traitors.
You attacked Carmen because of her reports of Indian Schools.
You cry Slander and Personal Attacks by Carmen because she refuses to submit to your Bigoted/Racist/Homophobic/Islamophobic/Misogynistic BS.
You just plain hate it that an educated, strong, intelligent African-American Woman is not afraid to speak for herself and stand up to you. What is a poor White Nationalist/White Supremacist to do?

Fortunately
The governor has commuted to 10 years.
Re: Out of whack?
The problem is that corporations can get away with murder, and never sees justice. The most they'll ever see are fines, which are just another cost of doing business to them. If brakes fail, the boss doesn't pay the price, the driver does.

Colorado governor slashes trucker's prison term to 10 years
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday shortened the prison sentence of a truck driver convicted in a deadly crash to 10 years, drastically reducing his original 110-year term that drew widespread outrage.
The decision on Rogel Aguilera-Mederos' sentence was among several year-end commutations and pardons issued by Polis.
The move comes days after a judge scheduled a hearing for next month to reconsider the sentence at the request of the district attorney, who planned to ask that it be reduced to 20 to 30 years..........
