After the ‘Gulf of America’ aneurysm, I’m surprised the EOs mandating English as the exclusive language to be used didn’t specify you had to use ‘American’.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

He would, but it's something Obama did, and his racist smoothbrain can't live with that.
Trump: with all the port traffic drying up, let make sure it is only non-whites that loose their trucking jobs.
I'm a lib and although poorly communicated, Trump has a point. Drivers should be able to read signs, etc. Don't get into the habit of dismissing everything he says or we're as bad as MAGA.
Signs are pretty standardised to be understandable even without knowing the local language
Numbers are standard across the world, language be damned. Sure the system of measurement might differ but that's not what's being discussed. I would love to see Trump force the planet to drop metric.
Trump has no point. He is just a white supremacist bigot. I can and have driven in France just fine without speaking the language no problem.
That is already a rule on the books. This EO is just a dog whistle for racist idiots.
Anyone know what potential implications this actually has? Is this a another march against free speech?
In my lifetime truck-driving has gone from a respected and well compensated blue collar carrier into a Mcjob.
And not because the work is unimportant. In fact it's because so many industries rely on truckers that their compensation has been squeezed.
Also trucking is a lot of hard work too and requires a bunch of skills. Anyone doubting that hasn't seen eg a local truck get smashed into a bridge
Compared to that 18 wheeler guy who turns into an alleyway on a dime, it's impressive
