6. A couple of years ago trucking companies were begging for drivers. Now they are going out of business due to lo demand.

We have stopped buying to the degree possible. And others have decreased buying due to not being able to afford higher prices. And anyone foreign is buying from anyone other than a US business if they can help it. And US businesses are having to try and absorb some of the tariffs to not exceed buyers cost tolerances and meanwhile seeing less and less demand anyway. Not a recipe for a robust economy.
