Is it just me, or are there more pickup trucks pulling flatbed trailers on the roads than ever before?

If so, why is that? Why is this becoming more and more of a thing?
It definitely seems like it but I don't know why.

Yes. Pickups pulling flatbed trailers often with no visible debris on the back that somehow still have rocks that dislodge randomly and make you feel like Han Solo in an asteroid field.

I didn't realize Mark Mulder has had his brain poisoned by right-wing talking points until I went to his Twitter profile.
Somehow 19 kids being killed in school made him worse.

On a long, lonely drive yesterday it occurred to me that I am in a pretty good spot in life when I am no longer the primary reason for having to tell my wife, 'It's ok, we'll get through this'.

I feel like I average 8.5 mattress advertisements a day for at least 6 years. First podcasts, now podcasts and TV. You hear of a new company every six months like clockwork. How is this sustainable? Do people grind through mattresses at a rate I'm not aware of?

It also seems like there's a Mattress Firm on every other street corner.

If you ain't burning through mattresses every six months you ain't satisfying your lover(s)

I always find funny when I get emails/spam likely containing viruses from companies like Norton, one would think a company that supposedly provides protection for you computer could avoid scammers from using their name.

I'm pretty sure 90% of mattress stores are fronts for laundering money.

Today Mrs. Zeus looked up her status/position in her company's directory and found she'd received a promotion and raise two months ago. During her performance review today, she learned that her supervisors also didn't know about her promotion and raise. Surprise!
