Four field approach FTW!

Anthropology made me the school bus driver I am today.

Lol meanwhile I have a neighbor who's been driving with his spare tire "donut" for almost a year now.

tronic” meaning “tronic”

No, "tronic" means somebody addicted to '80s animated movies.

That's because it was DJ Shadow (who did the music) selling out, not Run The Jewels.

Americans lag behind the developed world in life expectancy and general health

Hey now, we do spend twice as much per capita on health care as the rest of the developed world.

Apparently car commercials aren't even really meant to sell cars. Their main purpose is to make people feel good about the car they just bought (and are making enormous monthly payments on) so that they buy the same make of car next time.

Q: What even is an "imagine dragon"?
A: Imagine dragon deez nuts across your face.

Was this Eraserhead?

My mom just moved into an assisted-living facility and immediately had a fall trying to make her own bed. They of course make the beds for you there but only after breakfast and my mom's mind at 7:30 am couldn't handle the "mess" ... of one corner of the blanket being turned down. Meanwhile I just sleep on my mattress with a mexican blanket over me.

Doesn’t that have more to do with how hard it is to hire bus drivers?

Yeah, that plus our union makes it very hard to fire people, even for gross illegality. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% pro-union (we make about $10 more per hour than our neighboring non-union districts and have health insurance and a pension) but there's definitely a downside to it. Our shop steward got a DUI after blowing a fucking .36 (she was found passed out in her car with the engine running) and was driving her route three hours later, and she was eventually allowed to resign rather than being fired. Shop stewards are even more protected than regular union members.

I'm a school bus driver and a couple of years ago I had a cop pass me in the opposite direction when I was stopped with my red flashers and stop sign out and about to let kids out to cross the street. He was face down in his phone. If I hadn't noticed him coming he easily could have hit a kid ... and then I probably would have been arrested.
