The history of the modern day recreational snowmobile is fairly recent, however, travel over snow goes back many years, although man actually flew before he could master snow travel. While the Wright Brothers flew in 1903, the very first vehicle that was built to go in snow wasn't created until 1908. That was the Lombard log hauler designed and built in Waterville, Maine. It was a large cumbersome machine that resembled a steam locomotive, only it had a half track design and front skis. In 1909, a man named O.C. Johnson built an over the snow machine that went on top of the snow, when it worked.

Here in the US, trucks carry 10 billion tons of freight each year. That's 70 percent of all goods shipped across the country, according to the American Trucking Association. The trouble is: we don't have enough drivers, and their numbers are dwindling. The American Trucking Association says the driver deficit currently stands at 48,000, and if trends continue, that could reach 175,000 by the year 2024. The average age for an American truck driver is 63, and that's only going up. "Where is the next generation of truckers going to come from?" says Ryan Petersen, the CEO of Flexport, a company that helps businesses organize their shipping efforts through trucks as well as ships and trains.

During his campaign for president, Donald Trump claimed Amazon was a monopoly he would go after for anti-trust violations if elected. Sure, Trump didn't like the coverage he was receiving in the Washington Post, which Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos owns. But even just judging by the latest holiday sales numbers, Amazon so decisively dominates online shopping that other retail giants can barely compete. If Trump decided to make good on his promise, should Bezos be worried? Amazon's dominance is just that: a company outdoing the competition in capitalism's grand tradition. If success alone were against the law, then yes.
