"No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE 😉"
SALT is like a perfect name for an anti ICE group.

Well when you have ICE on the roads you send the salt trucks, I don't see what the big deal is
Context for people from warmer climates who may not know what a salt truck is/does:
In colder climates where the roads freeze in the winter, cities de-ice the roads. This is sometimes done by spreading salt from big trucks all over the roads to melt the ice. You could refer to a salt truck as a de-icing truck or an ice melting truck and you'd be largely correct
A lot of places ice the roads before the snow, as it helps the water not freeze to the road as well. (And lower the freezing point, not much but a little.)
A lot of places ice the roads before the snow
A lot of places salt ~~ice~~ the roads before the snow.
My town sprays a brine solution before snow, so more salt is on the road when it starts snowing. As opposed to cars flinging rock salt off the road for the few hours before snow starts
Haha yeah, definitely said ice instead of salt.
Wait yall dont like it when the entire undercarriage of your car is corroded to shit after two winters because of the flying rock salt? Smdhing my head
I love the holes in my exhaust, makes it sound like a race car
Vroom! Vroom! My car sounds like it goes fast.
