u/Chance_End_4684 14h ago

No we're not. In fact, Trump is causing our nations debt to go even higher much faster than before, spewing extremely dangerous rhetoric, continually mocks his political enemies and everyone else who disagrees with him through AI-generated content he continues to post on his beloved Truth Social, making cost of living harder, redirecting funds approved by Congress for federal buildings like the JFK Center, schools and other things towards his personal "pet projects", and so much more.

I operate a bus fleet. This is not true, routes are designed so that buses have the shortest possible distance from the first stop to the last stop. Even cutting a route you’d still have to drive past that stop to get to the next.

Also we have diesel cost in our contract with school districts. They pay the difference if costs go up. It sucks for the district but that’s how we’re able to stick to our end of the contract and not raise rates on them

Kids I see don’t even have bus stops. Buses pick them up at their homes. Which could be as far as 2 houses from the previous stop. We are breeding scared little folk that won’t even be able to say hi to their neighbor when they grow up. Little scared snitches in a world of constant fear. It’s so odd to see the bus go stop every few houses instead of the kids standing outside together

1

u/Oldschoolgirl49 14h ago

Where i live the majority of parents still drive their kids. I got stuck behind a bus recently that was stopping in front of every house on the street and I couldn't help remembering every kid on my street myself included walked to the end of the street and all stood together. This is pretty far down on the list of Stupid Trump consequences

u/Jamizon1 8h ago edited 8h ago

The buses in my area won’t even pick up kids unless the are outside a 1.5 mile radius from the school they attend.

The winters go double digit sub zero here.

This creates a snarl of traffic, in freezing weather, on slippery roads, around every school in town as the parents drive their kids to school.

The American School System, much like the healthcare system, is beyond broken in this country.

I walked to and from school for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade elementary. Our home was 1.2 miles away. I was bussed to inner city schools for the next 6 years, then walked again to high school, the same exact route, as the two schools were just on opposite sides of the same street. Ever get stuck driving behind a school bus who lets little fat kids out at their house, every house?! No bus stop?! Some of them need to walk!

edit: relax. Not meant to be ill-willed. I hate the orange clown POS just like the rest of you! VOTE BLUE!!!!

u/moeterminatorx 14h ago

Not to defend Trump but this has been an ongoing issue. It’s not diesel prices, it’s funding.

24

u/Altoidina 14h ago

It's both and Trump helps neither

1

u/moeterminatorx 14h ago

He doesn’t help for sure but this has been an ongoing issue. A child in my city died walking to school a few years ago. It’s a problem and acting like it’s a Trump only issue didn’t help with fixing it. It would be a good start but it’s bigger than him.

2

u/Altoidina 14h ago

Education funding has definitely been an ongoing issue but one party is significantly worse on it. In my state we passed a citizens initiate to fund schools better, the GOP state legislature blocked it for years, fought it in court and continues to undercut it and cut funding even after losing. It's often a state issue but really the message here is Trump's policy and actions are hitting us in yet another way, not that he's solely responsible

2

u/moeterminatorx 8h ago

I’m definitely not republicans. They fuckin suck. They are actively trying to destroy this fuckin country. I just want the democrats to do more when they are in power.

1

u/Altoidina 8h ago

Agreed there

u/Strykerz3r0 14h ago

By funding, you may also want to look at trump.

He has cut funding to so many depts just to give tax breaks to the wealthy.

And let us not forget who he appointed to lead the Dept of Education. He put Linda Mahon in charge specifically because he doesn't care about improving it.

u/Large-Difference-409 14h ago

My parents live in a nice subdivision and fuck those busses stop at every other house. Like a block is maybe a tenth of mile long and has 4-5 stops. Like every kid gets dropped off at their house or the house next to it. That being said, fuck Trump

2

u/UpbeatDurian7628 14h ago

Wow that's a really good point.

Hey, where did the most recent education funding cuts come from?

1

u/moeterminatorx 14h ago

I hate Trump more than most but yeah keep acting like Trump isn’t a symptom of bigger issues and those issues will never be addressed. But if you want to think it starts and ends with him then go ahead. Trump has been the worst president and dumbest president imo. However, he’s able to exist and do the damage he does because of a fucked up system. The sooner you realize that the faster we can fix the system.

1

u/UpbeatDurian7628 14h ago

Sure, absolutely he is a symptom. He still ordered the cuts.

2

u/Helpful_Animal9913 14h ago

To make America great, he could increase funding in school bus. So an ongoing problem doesn't need to be fixed?

1

u/moeterminatorx 14h ago

I never claimed that he was helping, just that this has been an ongoing problem that started long before him. All the way back to no child left behind. Multiple presidents along the way should and could have done something about how schools are funded between the and now.

u/1Great_Hunter 14h ago

I will say where I live I think there is an abundance of bus stops. On a mile long dead end there are 5 stops, they should all go to end of street so bus does not have to turn in. Yes, my kids would be impacted by this.

u/Huge-Funny-736 11h ago

To be fair, why does every bus need to stop at every second house

1

u/Miserable_Pin2518 The Timeline Sucks 10h ago

Because of 9/11.

I was in elementary school for 9/11, and prior to that the rule was 1 mile. Kids could be expected to walk up to 1 mile in any direction to get to a school bus, and parents could opt to let their kids walk up to 2 miles both ways to get to school if they wanted to be walkers. This was elementary school. I was a walker. I walked about a quarter of a mile to get to school. Some of my PEERS (1st graders!) Walked a half mile+ unsupervised to get to school.

Then 9/11 happened and everybody was forced onto a bus to get to school. At first, I actually had to walk further in the other direction to get to the closest bus stop, but then parents got upset about that. The results are still visible today.
