It is a choice people have made, not an inevitability and certainly not a necessity. For instance, the United States faces a scarcity of truck drivers. The American Trucking Association has estimated that in 2021 there were 80,000 fewer drivers than the total needed and that, given the age of current drivers, over a million new ones will have to be recruited in the coming decade. To deal with this deficit, many tech moguls, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have invested in the research and development of self-driving vehicles, technology that would reduce the demand for drivers. For Bezos, such technology makes corporate financial sense; Amazon relies on low shipping costs to keep its prices down. But it does not make wider economic sense because millions of people would be happy to drive trucks in the United States\u2014they just need to be allowed to work in the country.<\/p>\n<p>All three admitted they <a href=\"https:\/\/search.brave.com\/search?q=All%20three%20admitted%20they%20flagrantly%20lied%20either%20under%20oath%20to%20Congress%20or%20to%20federal%20investigators.%20The%20three%20were%20never%20indicted%20for%20their%20false%20and%20perjurious%20testimonies.&#038;source=ios\">flagrantly lied either under oath to Congress or to federal investigators<\/a>.
