Plus wonder if the DC blockade will exacerbate the Supply Chain issue(s)...and...news articles says many RVers are joining in that blockade...but it didn't happen and guessing LEO's figured a way to foil them

Vehicle shortage issues started way before the trucker protests. I ordered a Ford Transit Van for work over a year ago and still don't know when it will arrive.
The DC truck protest won't help the supply chain crisis, of course, but out of a couple million trucks on the road nationwide, one or two thousand trucks in a convoy in DC aren't going to really affect it much either.
