How did I know this was a krazen thread before clicking on it?

Lets see - oppressive class war child-killing agenda masquerading as concern for children?

See, if the US had a half-decent transportation policy, this wouldn't be an issue as the kids could just walk or bicycle to school.

^^^^^^^^

Indeed.

Guys, its America - they'd all be shot if they went  that-a-way.

Child killing?

Reducing one's serviles to below-subsistence penury leads to the death of a larger and quite predictable percentage of them and of their children, DC.  And those who commit this genocide are quite aware of what they are doing.

According to this http://www.childdeathreview.org/nationalchildmortalitydata.htm, over 3/4 of children's deaths are caused by:

1) Perinatal conditions
2) Congenital anomalies
3) Motor vehicle accidents

So what, paying the poor $8 an hour is causing their kids to die in car crashes?

Of course, and the first two as well.  Poors have no access to medical care.

Besides, friend, who could call $8/hour 'living'?  The deceased are the lucky ones.

Just 152,000 of New York City's 1.1 million public schoolchildren ride yellow school buses, but the cost of busing students has risen from $100 million in 1979 to $1.1 billion today.

What do you expect?  All costs have gone up similarly, and anyway, that is progress.

Hmm? No, a Big Mac only costs about 3 times as much. Not 11 times.

A Big Mac would (and should) cost 11 times as much, were McDonalds not a slave labor joint (non-unionized).  You see, these unions are a good thing, and increasing costs and expenditures are also a good thing.  This is what we call human progress.

That's an interesting theory. If a Big Mac and the rest of their menu cost $13 McDonalds wouldn't be in business and there would be no labor at all.

Sure there would, buddy.  If everybody were in a union, a $13 hamburger would be no problem because everyone would have a handsome income.
