Also went to a DODEA school in the UK in the 90s, they were using charter busses then, too

It's ok. The doses have been paid for.

Reply to comment by hitman2218 in Covid vaccine doses go to waste in Switzerland amid huge stockpile by aaaronbrown
I got 4 shots in total and while I always lived my life like normal I think a 5th isn’t in my future. I don’t know the last time someone I knew was positive and even if they were it’s apparently not as contagious or severe by a significant margin. Maybe I’ll keep getting a booster with my flu shot but that’d be about it.

I’d say more corporate greed.

As always when it comes to these fixes, who's gonna pay for it?
You could raise the price of water to try and force people.... and then get slaughtered in the next election cycle. And that assumes you *can* force people. You can't. People don't have water leaks for fun, it's because they don't have the money to fix them. Or their apartment owners who don't care because they make the renter pay.

Looks like a regular charter bus here, too. I'm not sure if there's a regulation about the hammers here. Could be. And maybe none of them ever noticed them or knew what they were. Pretty conspicuous: bright red, hammer-shaped, molded grip with a handguard, ground steel point; I just took it for granted people knew what they were. I think there's usually a decal in the corner with a pictogram showing where you should hit it. It's been a while since I was on a bus
Edit: correcting the autocorrect

The overturned bus in the article looks more like a charter bus than a commuter or school bus.

Probably a better name than the generic Hot Springs name.

Sure, it’s just a matter of how long it takes to filter through and return to the aquifer.
It can take years or centuries, depending on what the water has to filter through among other variables like capillary action.
If you want to use the water in the near future, it’s best to not let it return to the aquifer.

Infrastructure maintenance costs a lot, likely to close streets for weeks to months, look ugly while being done, and may not get finished before they leave office. The niceties probably go up quickly, and are there for reelection time.

I guess people boat in it? When I was at Ft Bliss (El Paso, TX, though most of the land of the fort is in New Mexico, for those that don't know), I remember hearing about a number of drownings there, probably alcohol related.

When it’s your crews and equipment, it’s surprisingly cheap.

I know the UK and Germany are different, but when I went to a DoDEA school in the UK, our busses were not the same as the other school busses / busses used in the area. It was many moons ago, but we had a charter bus for high school. But neither our middle school nor high school bus had a little hammer to use, just emergency doors.
I’m assuming theirs didn’t either it they may not have known.

I think it’s just that people don’t feel threatened by Covid anymore. The omicron variant is milder than the previous variants so there’s less urgency to get the shot.
