Regardless, of the above we get to ask some interesting questions.
1. How do you entice existing licenced drivers who are currently in other fields of employment back into the profession?
2. How do you make the profession appealing to potential new hires?
3. If 1 & 2 cannot be achieved, how do we fill the gap until such time as self driving/automated HGV's become 'a thing' ?

Simple pay better wages , look at the hours worked and how about dedicated hgv lanes the trucks are hard enough to drive without having idiots getting in the way. Also cut benefits . Wales are looking at giving everyone a " minimum wage". Think it's good idea just look at Indian reservations with casinos .

How about looking at Finland, which closer to what Wales are doing

The world’s most robust study of universal basic income has concluded that it boosts recipients’ mental and financial well-being, as well as modestly improving employment.
Finland ran a two-year universal basic income study in 2017 and 2018, during which the government gave 2000 unemployed people aged between 25 and 58 monthly payments with no strings attached.

1. Pay is already increasing due to the shortage of drivers.
2. Dedicated HGV lanes would cost an absolute fortune to implement and would only be implementable in certain areas of the country.
3. What does cutting benefits have to do with it?
4. Again, i don't see what a minimum wage for everyone has to do with it
5. Same again, native american & casinos ? what?

It is no longer a fringe idea of the neo-marxist Left and of the libertarian Right. It is included in the vision post the ‘Great Reset’1 as envisaged and applied by the World Economic Forum (WEF), bearing the name “Stakeholder Capitalism”2, which becomes the gateway to a fairer, more environmentally responsible society. Many labour unions in the UK have now passed resolutions at recent conferences lobbying for “UBI” that would liberate workers from the “bondage of work” and allow them to spend their time doing something else. Of course, the income will be basic, meaning you will need to accept a certain level of subsistence and no more to prevent inappropriate inequality. That would be decided by the “decision makers” in the stakeholder process which Schwab asserts would not necessarily include you, especially in the transition period. You will own nothing and “be happy about it”. No more debt. Energy will be green, rationed, and expensive, and travel will be restricted to protect the environment. Your diet will be controlled to ensure distributive justice3 in medical matters, and currency will be digital. There may be those with great wealth but that is because they will be the ones designing our better world and they need it to facilitate and support their visionary work; these are the Elon Musks and the Jeff Bezos of our world.

UBI or some equivalent will become a necessity in the future. Autonimous vehicles doesn't just mean no more need for HGV drivers but every driver be it a taxi, bus or even train driver.
Automated production in factories will also drive down the need for people to be employed. That's millions with no form of income or any chance of getting one.
A dystopian future indeed but nothing to do with politics, thankfully it won't get to that extreme in my time.
Politics, Local Government etc, will possibly the only future employment, what happens to the rest of the population then? Allow them to starve to death?

Nah, nothing so horrible as that. What Governments will do is eventually give the unemployed masses a weapon and send them to invade somewhere

The major purpose of this dissertation is to help you to be free of the fear of COVID, a fear that has been established and built by a worldwide assault by governments, transnational agencies like the WHO and NGO Foundations with a budget of billions who have a vested interest in promoting that fear. Although COVID-19 is a real virus, a fake crisis was created around it and we will be investigating how and why we have become the victims of that hoax. I write that you might find your individuality and freedom to speak once again by being armed with the necessary scientific, medical and political facts concerning the management of the pandemic. Once you are free of the fear of COVID and any subsequent pandemic, you can stand up for your freedom to live without governmental interference of your rights to work, trade, assemble, socialise and worship.

If you were trying to somehow dis-credit the first paper by referring to this paper regarding the response to COVID, I think it will have the opposite affect to anyone that reads the whole thing.

Good idea, let's have a proper world war this time including evry country in the world and reduce the population to managable levels. Carbon footprint and global warming reduced to match. Win-win.

Yes, his papers on COVID are obviously sensible…

Vaccination compromises natural immunity, destroying natural antibodies which offer long-term and robust immunity against new variants. Vaccination is only effective against the variant it targets.

I wasn’t talking about COVID, there’s another thread for that. Perhaps you could post things there yourself and argue with yourself about what you have posted?
