Fucking shit people. Never, until COVID, did I hear about a shortage of bus drivers. Now schools are consistently missing drivers to the point that after Christmas, no more bus service to anyone who lives within 2 miles of the school unless they're handicapped. 2 miles can see kids cross a few major roads and not exactly the safest for 11 and 12 year olds when they're 2 miles from school, but with school starting and getting out well after work begins and ends for most people....FFS, what a mess. I'm just over 2 miles, so it doesn't affect me, but I know people it does and that's pretty fucked up.
That reminds me....Wednesday's I have to pick her up from school to get her to gymnastics. A traffic violation that is worthy of jail time if not outright execution on the spot. Sitting on 34th, 3 lane road (suicide lane). The entire stretch between 8th and 16th Ave is a school zone and backs up badly. I watched some cunt get in the suicide lane, bypass at least 20 cars, then cut back into the lane. It should be legal to shoot, if not at least give a beating, to those people. To make that long ass, barely moving traffic even worse.....The crossing guard is a fucking retard. The 34th exit from the school is a short distance from the intersection. The crossing guard doesn't make any kids wait, he keeps stopping traffic for every kid that walks up at a slow pace. Backed up light to light and this retard, when we have the green light to get traffic moving, is when he keeps blocking us to let the kids cross. When we have the red light and can't move anyway? The kids don't cross. It's astonishing stupidity. And that's why a 50 year old man is a crossing guard.
