Rampant stupidity

There is no public health awareness any longer....

This is how epidemics are started.....WTF?

All of the other passengers were big boys and girls, and should have left the bus bright and early if they had that level of concern.

There is a similar lacking in Texas where a measles outbreak may be the in intended consequence of a congregation being "anti-vaccine."

Greyhound is a primitive company IMHO. A few days ago on my latest Craigslist carpool adventure, I picked up a guy in Portland who had bought a Greyhound ticket online before finding the ride with me. He's British, apparently didn't realize he could (should) have bought the ticket in person. Would have avoided the difficulty, the resolution of which I'll likely not hear about - at any rate I offered to stop by the Greyhound station for him to get a refund, the ticket was for 6 pm later that day, I figured it best to look for the refund or credit ahead of time.

He had yet to get the physical ticket, but had paid for it. They printed the ticket and informed him there was no refund or even crediting for a future trip available. WTF? Are they trying to lose customers? The chances of them having lost a passenger owing to his reservation are approximately zero, unless Greyhound has suddenly become a highly sought travel venue.

I was out in the car, not sure if he'd asked for a change before the printing that it would have made any difference. It's been about 37 years since I rode Greyhound, and the last ride was not pleasant. Not likely to do it again.

I rode the dog last fall from OKC to San Antonio, the Dallas to SA was an express bus. It had wifi and other nice features. I hate buses, but the express bus was not too bad.

It's not an issue of awareness. If that were so, life is good. The question is whether I give a crap about you or not. The answer is "NO". I'm going to my destination and if I kill the rest of you, so be it.

And on the plus side, there is a link on the site you mentioned for Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

Unfortunately, stupid religious people won't go practice their crap far away where they only kill themselves.

Question. What is the legality of tossing that guy off the bus or under it? Could Greyhound legally toss him off without a lawsuit?

As to protocol, how could the driver be enforcing it and having the guy wear a mask if 2 drivers couldn't get him to do it? Somebody's lying.

I know a few people like this. They feel that way about everything they don't understand.

If anyone wonders what type of person voted for Sen. Ted Cruz.... Well, now you know.

You aren't exactly likely to meet the cream of the crop on a bus. You pay your money and you take your chances. I take the plane when required and when someone else is paying, but if I'm traveling on my own time and my own dime, I prefer my own car or motorcycle.

Best healthcare in the world. Cough up blood? You're fine.

Drug resistant TB is present in prisons. If one is sentenced to time in such a prison it is with the pretense that TB is not a consideration.

Most profitable prisons in the world. Get TB? That's why we have the healthcare system. You're fine.

People in prison and people who ride the bus don't count anyway. Right?

If they do it to them they will do it to you too.

I rode a train cross country about 15 years ago. It was a great time but it took time. Not an option if you are counting the minutes. If you are coughing up blood you should probably be counting the minutes.
