Do you have to be autistic to know OP meant radial engine and not rotary engine?

Without the Civil Rights Act of 1965, LBJ would have just been the guy who helped introduce oil money into national politics, literally stole his way into the senate, lucked into becoming President, and ramped up the Vietnam War. So there is a precedent.

My house has totally fucked-up electrical. For some reason, there's a secondary breaker box in the basement which switches some of the outlets and lights in the house over to running off the generator outside. So when the line power comes back on, the lights that aren't switched to the gen come back on (if I happened to have them on when the power went off, at least).

I've lived in this house for 15 years now and I've been without power here for a total of seven weeks during that time. I like how many trees we have here but that's the price we pay.

Just looked up Canada's minimum wage. That is fucking terrible and yet still nearly twice the US minimum wage. Paying that for someone with a CDL is nuts. Even if it doesn't require a CDL in Canada it's still fucking nuts. Did you at least get 8 hours a day?

She wasn't even suspended, although after this the director instituted a policy of a week's suspension if the accident is your fault and you have to undergo mandatory re-training. Pretty amazing that we had no such policy prior to this.

The company

I think that's your problem. Private school bus companies don't give a fuck about anything, including (especially) their employees and whatever bullshit they get up to. Working for a school district that operates its own buses is the only way the job can be decent, although that's a crap shoot. My district pays great (nearly $35 an hour) and provides excellent health insurance and even a pension if you survive ten years. Other districts in the area pay less than $25 per hour and provide no benefits.

AFAIK they've never vaped on the bus with kids aboard, they do it when it's empty or parked. I have seen them many times using their phones with kids aboard, though. There's one driver that I never saw without her phone in one hand when I passed her; she was friends with the old transportation director so she was able to get away with anything, although the new director I think is trying to get rid of her. This driver hit two cars in one day and somehow still has her job.

I'm a school bus driver. Some of my coworkers recently tried putting tape over the on-bus cameras so they could get away with vaping and smoking and using their phones while driving. The stupidity required to think they could get away with this is mind-boggling. 1) They thought it would actually work in the sense that our bosses would not notice that the camera was not recording anything, and 2) they thought if it was detected that our bosses wouldn't know it was them that put the tape up. Turns out the cameras are recording even when the buses are turned off and the little red light isn't on.

I'm naturally opposed to the surveillance state, but I wouldn't want to be taking action on this principle just so I could fucking smoke and use my phone while driving a school bus. Amazingly, my coworkers got nothing but a warning for this, and then we all got a sternly-worded letter telling us not to fuck with the cameras.

Won't somebody think of the werewolves?!?!
