There are secular home schoolers with zero religious ideas.  They live in crappy school districts and can’t afford private schools.  I used to teach weekend science classes to small groups of them.

Taxes are the price we pay for civilization, and a good stable future. 

Privatization is always a scam. The result is ALWAYS taxpayers paying more so some dipshit can make more.

That money sure isn’t trickling down to the K-12 classroom at the local level. Not when every educator is spending weekly out of their own pocket on supplies. That's a big enough issue there's a federal tax credit for it.

That’s the problem with these contractors, shitty pay and likely no benefits.

You wouldn’t believe the number if parents with kids that don’t want to pay school taxes, period.

magic supply of funds

Privatizing a school’s bus fleet is a scam. A basket of empty promises and greed. We start drivers at $15.08 (I think) an hour. 180 days on duty with split shifts and less than 40 hours a week guaranteed hurts though. They can get overtime many of the weeks plus there is summer school and intersession work. Still a…

Don’t lay the blame directly on the school districts. The problem is the greedy jerks that own all these subcontracting companies. In my area, the districts that own their own bus fleets haven’t suffered any significant problems. The subcontractors have been having a hell of a time with hiring drivers and mechanics.…

to be fair if someone told me to suddenly start ferrying around 90 unvaxxed kids in a sweaty box with shitty HVAC after driving an empty bus around for months, I’d want to quit too

This isn’t just bus drivers. It’s all the lower paid school jobs like paraprofessionals, food services, and clerical staff. Who wants to make $13.20 to $15 an hour when the local fast food places are paying $18-23. And forget about renegotiating the contract. District residents would go ape over a rise in taxes to…

Bus drivers near me are paid near minimum wage, have a split shift and aren’t paid for the time they drive the bus empty- and for some reason we have a shortage of them

Advancements...if you’re only looking at new tech and ever more impressive performance numbers, you’re missing the point if you’re a driving enthusiast.

“I accept that SUVs and trucks aim for aggro and that’s fine, but our world has enough of that. It needs more stuff like this.”

The last great gas engined car from Ferrari.   

Starting a go fund me for you to pay for an eye exam.

stop looking too much into it and enjoy the car

I’m CST as well. Love going TO Arizona during DST months, it’s coming back that’s the bite in the ass. Nothing like a 3 hour flight that takes off at 1 and lands at 6.

Would work great with the GOP rednecks and morons who think a living wage is communism.

How is embracing Detroit (seeing as it is a major American city and he’s the President of the country) a boomer thing exactly?
