I think it’s great that they took advantage of the situation to get into the Bible.

But I do think some of them are going to be popping up in interviews and on TV shows, for as long as the story can be milked. The media sensationalizes and emotionalizes everything, and the low information voters eat it up.

One of the people on that bus is probably a very, very unlucky person. I’d bet that a google search on that person would reveal a series of coincidences that you wouldn’t believe.

“This whole operation has been so FUBAR, one would think the government had been running it.”

That government incompetence is spreading into the private sectors as companies slash costs just to stay in business; we are descending into a 3rd world toilet (the Mexification of America). Capable people are let go for cheaper substitutes, and I’d think inspections are routinely missed or done by incompetents. “Made in America” is dead, and has been replaced by cheap Red Chinese garbage.

It could be worse.

By the way, meet your new traveling companion.
