<h2>Hella Truck Stop Nation</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s a Hella Truck Stop Nation. In this case &#8220;Hella&#8221; is used in the negative sense. Get the full scoop in Hella-Truck-Stop-Nation-Bob Davis Podcast 1153.</p>
<h2>Las Vegas</h2>
<p><a href="https://thebobdavispodcasts.com/joshua-tree-national-park-bob-davis-podcast-1150/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Firstly I am supposed to be enjoying a perfect Southwestern sunset in front of a warm campfire.</a></p>
<p>Instead I am in Las Vegas waiting for a heater I&#8217;ve ordered to arrive at <a href="https://www.campingworld.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Camping World</a>.</p>
<p>And dealing with a strange noise and potential mechanical problem with Mobile Podcast Command.</p>
<p>Therefore I am rotating around Las Vegas.</p>
<h2>Truck Stops</h2>
<p>From time to time visiting various truck stops both in the city and in surrounding areas along the freeway.</p>
<h2>Long Time Traveler</h2>
<p>More importantly I have been doing this for a long time.</p>
<p>That is to say traveling around the country visiting towns and cities.</p>
<p>Certainly spending most of my time on the back roads and avoiding the major cities.</p>
<h2>Shiny Hotels Of Las Vegas</h2>
<p>All things considered when most people come to Las Vegas they come to the shining hotels.</p>
<p>In essence to gamble, enjoy an expensive and delicious dinner and see a show.</p>
<h2>Miss The Back Streets</h2>
<p>Under those circumstances visitors never see the back streets of this city.</p>
<h2>Desperation</h2>
<p>In particular the in town truck stops.</p>
<p>At the present time I don&#8217;t think I have seen this many desperate people.</p>
<p>And not just here in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>But all over the Southwest.</p>
<h2>Fool No One</h2>
<p>To explain we&#8217;re talking about people sleeping in cars and converted vans and utility trucks that fool no one.</p>
<p>Or the free campgrounds in the desert.</p>
<h2>Digging A Little Deeper This Time</h2>
<p>Therefore I certainly could have recorded a breezy and fun podcasts about how much I love truck stops.</p>
<p>On the other hand I decided to dig a little deeper and push a little harder.</p>
<h2>Haves And Have Nots</h2>
<p><a href="https://datausa.io/profile/geo/las-vegas-nv#:~:text=Poverty%20%26%20Diversity&text=14.7%25%20of%20the%20population%20for,the%20national%20average%20of%2012.5%25." target="_blank" rel="noopener">There&#8217;s nothing like a trip to Vegas to emphasize the gap between the haves and the have nots,</a></p>
<h2>The Abyss</h2>
<p>As well as the unfortunates who have fallen off the last rung of the economic ladder&#8230;into the abyss. And sure there&#8217;s jobs for those with certain skills.</p>
<p>And of course there are those who I describe as useless.</p>
<h2>Sharecroppers</h2>
<p>Thirdly about 90 years ago hundreds of thousands of Oklahoma Sharecroppers headed west.</p>
<h2>Grapes of Wrath</h2>
<p><a href="https://thebobdavispodcasts.com/sharecropper-nation-bob-davis-podcast-1116/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">For the purposes of illustrating our current situation I spend some time discussing &#8220;The Grapes of Wrath&#8221;.</a></p>
<h2>There Is No Plan</h2>
<p>Finally the difference between today&#8217;s desperate and the Okies is a plan.</p>
<p>In conclusion there is no plan.</p>
<h2>Word To The Wise</h2>
<p>In fact if you&#8217;re a nomad or want to be one you have to be able to identify this situation and the places you don&#8217;t want to stay.</p>
