  • Georgia congressman running for the U.S. Senate says foreign truckers are making roads unsafe. His own truckers have caused harm.

  • At the same time, however, Collins has opposed rules that experts say actually would reduce the odds of serious crashes. Those rules could have required that Collins’ family business sink substantial money into new safety measures for its fleet.

    Over the past 25 years, crashes involving truckers for Collins’ business killed five people and injured more than 50 people — including one woman who now needs around-the-clock care due to a severe brain injury — according to federal data, court filings, plaintiffs’ attorneys and police records.

    Drivers and passengers who were injured in those crashes later claimed in lawsuits that truckers for Collins’ business have caused them to collectively incur hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. The figure the business has paid out is not known because the settlements it reached with crash victims have been confidential, as is common in such suits. Court filings in one suit state that both parties agreed to a $1 million payout from the business’s insurer. Collins’ business denied wrongdoing by truckers and the business itself in those cases.

    ProPublica’s analysis of federal motor vehicle data from the past two years shows that Collins’ business has a higher rate of unsafe driving and speeding violations per mile than the majority of trucking companies with substantial mileage. The analysis also shows that the company’s recent crash rate sits around the median of similar companies, while the rate of injury from those crashes sits in the top fifth.

    Safety experts told ProPublica that some of the technologies opposed by Collins, which include devices on semitrucks to limit their speed and sensors on big rigs to automatically brake in the face of a potential collision, reduce the odds of crashes leading to serious injuries and deaths. The country’s largest trucking trade group — a group that Collins’ family business is a member of, according to the company’s website — has supported mandates for those technologies.

  • In the West, people who care for people of faith as they're dying report that they are the ones more frightened, as their time approaches. I would assume this also correlates whether you deity is vindictive or forgiving, but I really don't know.

  • Not my fault every single coffee shop is closed today

  • I think it's good, lovely, and pure an entire staff have an entire day off to rest, spend time with family, create art, just chill. In fact, why shouldn't they have 2 day weekends and rotating a weekday off? It's needed, fair, and just. Humanity managed before an always-on society, we can learn to do it again.

    Inb4 emergency services, real needs such as bandages, home health, etc. Of course it's fair and just some establishments be always on, but so is having enough staff that everyone gets rotating two day weekends and an additional weekday off, to do personal business.
