We’ll have to wait to get the whole story. But you couldn’t pay me enough to drive a school bus in one of the larger metro areas or suburbs.

Most school districts are desperate for bus drivers. In Edmond they have a driver and a monitor on each bus. Back when I rode the bus we had a driver only. If you screwed up too bad he would stop the bus and kick you out. I'm sure they have to put up with a lot more crap today. Same thing with the shortage of substitute teachers. I'd last half a day doing either.

They'll overcome that obstacle when they eliminate the criterion, "Must speak English."

Well first of all, he’s 68 years old. He’s not STILL driving a school bus because he’s been there forever, he was a recent hire according to the news I watched last night.

For this situation you can directly thank the manufactured Fauci Virus and 3 1/2 years of ludicrously bad policy response, particularly fiscal. Schools can’t hire bus drivers who aren’t 68 year old crackpots, because they can’t compete in the throwing money at everything and everyone game.

Guess what? The same thing is happening in your children’s classrooms, It’s happening in child care facilities. It’s happening pretty much everywhere. The only surprise is that we don’t have stories like this in the news every week.

When you post a sign on every corner saying bus drivers needed, will train, etc; this is what you get. Same logic for all .gov workers.

If folks would quit relying on the .gov to provide for them, the world would be a better place.
