I think you got it backwards. Government created a problem with regulation. Fixing it by deregulating fixed the problem by returning the industry to the free market system that make America the largest economy in the world.

Do you not understand that government control of commerce is the definition of Socialism?

The Constitution gives the Federal government the power to regulate interstate commerce. Read the Federalist Papers. The writers of the Constitution recognized the necessity of the free movement of goods and services between states. States cannot impose tariffs or taxes on goods moving through their state. States cannot prohibit the transportation of goods through their state. it's a basic free market economy.
The government did not own the businesses..
But can do whatever it wants to sink accompany or give it contracts to profit or survive.
States should be able to regulate. If they're stuck with the loss of jobs and welfare bills....and loss of tax revenue.....then they should be able to defend themselves. State government should be obligated to their State over the federal government ...just like abortion......even though it's moral....it is also revenue.....which is probably a big part of why there is a lobby for it.
Loss of wages and standards as in deregullations and allowing foreign junk in which destroys jobs also devalues some localities properties at times.
If a state wants regulation...such as blue states might want....they should be allowed .and the interstate commerce crap should not be above the states desires.
Who is the "community". The community is the government. It is government that represents the individuals. Just like the union represents the "community of Teamsters". It's collectivism. Again, the definition of socialism.

Actually, the nation was destroyed and the Constitution neutered in 1913.
The 17th Amendment took away all the states rights except the electoral college by taking away the state assemblies right to appoint senators.
1913 was also the year the 16th amendment creating the income tax was ratified. We have a system of taxation based on the economy of 1913.

Who gets to decide the fair share? What policy are you talking about?
We have the world's largest economy. What job got ruined? Certainly not truck drivers. There are more trucks on the road than ever before.
I hope to never see Kamala's giggly face and hand movements again...Hey, and I am "upper middle class" !

If and it’s a big if there are 400,000 teamster drivers they should be pi$$ed at the Democratic Party for the deregulation of the trucking industry “jimmy carter” and NAFTA “bill Clinton”. UPS Freight was the last major ltl company that got organized and the teamsters have done a poor job in their efforts to organize Fed Ex freight and Xpo.

No wonder concessionary contracts kept getting passed, due to the lack of reading comprehension. The 400k are the Retirees who would have their Pensions cut and eventually, the last CSPF for ALL would have been 12/1/2024.
ok...I wasn't any good at 'rit -me-tick" ...thank you for clearing this up

The taxpayers saved the teamster pension, not democrats not the teamsters.
Corporate welfare is keeping those pensions alive.

Democrats reach in your pocket for funds to buy votes. There is nothing ethical or moral about this behavior.
