I’ve heard that not crashing your bus works wonders when you want it to stay in good condition.
I like bus drivers who don’t get into wrecks
When I was in middle school, it was a highlight of my year, when my bus slid into the ditch! No one got hurt and no visible damage so it was just a free day off when everyone else had to go in …… plus they let us walk home.
As an adult, I realize there was a series of questionable choices here. However I hope the bus driver didn’t get in much trouble: they should not have been on the road. It clearly should have been a snow day
If that is your life nothing of value was lost.
They clearly didn’t have lives to begin with
If they didn’t insure that idiot-box then they especially deserve their newfound suffering.
She added that only recently it became eligible to be fully insured, less than 48 hours before the incident.
Eligible. Just barely. No word on whether it actually was or not.
Nothing of value lost
They’ll be fine. All they have to do is trust Jesus.
And pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
If they need help, I’d be willing to send some additional bootstraps for them to pull at. Even half a roll of paracord.
And on the third day, God said 'Let there be metaphor"
She added that only recently it became eligible to be fully insured, less than 48 hours before the incident.
That’s quite the coincidence…
In many states, driving a vehicle uninsured is a crime. They’re admitting they’ve been committing this crime for quite awhile?
Also, most people driving buses require a CDL (Commercial Drivers License). Is this one of those vehicles? Do they have the proper license?
Now, the duo has no clue what the future holds for them.
Its a good thing their candidate supports a strong social safety net, so they can still know their basic needs are taken car of, right? Right?!
For now, the flag and Trump merchandise sales are on hold, as the duo plans to ask for donations to repair the vehicle.
So they’re supporters of Socialism now? Where are their bootstraps in times like this?

The mandatory insurance tends to be liability insurance, for injuries. Insurance may not be mandatory on the cost of the vehicle itself. It would not surprise me if their insurer didn’t want to write a collision policy until some time had passed. (Particularly since they also seem to be living in it, I’m sure that has an affect on insurance.)
Do they have the proper license?
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that one of them had a CDL, there are all sorts of jobs that require them and the company would pay for the training. Heck, my local school district is always trying to find more bus drivers, they would pay for the CDL if you agreed to drive a bus full of snotnosed middle schoolers every day

RVs do not require a CDL and this bus was being used as one. CDLs are required, generally, when hauling more than 15 passengers or using a heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.
heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.
They were transporting and selling merchandise out of it. I bet they wrote its expenses off their taxes. Sounds commercial to me.

In many states (mine included), you don’t technically need insurance. You have to show proof of financial responsibility, and that only has to meet some surprisingly low standards. IIRC, you only have to prove you can pay for $7,500 in damages. Or if you meet certain other criteria, you can self-insure.
Fully insured. They likely had liability but couldn’t get full coverage, which is perfectly legal.
It’s hard for me not to go off on speculation like this. Bunch of random assumptions for no reason. You can look up the requirements. For my state it’s a weight/passenger limit.

“Just like that, we’re homeless,” sighed Grenata."
I’m sure the Donald will get right on that for them…
Also… you can buy a bus for $15,000?
Here’s a school bus going up for auction. 117,000 miles. Sitting for 2 years. Current bid $643 with 3 days left.
You can buy a shitty bus for $15,000
The brakes must cost extra.
Brakes?! Ahmahgud I thought you said “breaks.” Breaks is included, yes. Breaks, no brakes. No brakes cause many breaks, will be for sure many breaks included because no brakes. For you, I throw in wipers free of charge. Wipe wipe, see good what you gonna hit.
A few years ago I was looking into buying a old bus and building a eurocruiser out of it. Had plans for putting a sauna in the back lol… anyway, you could get a volvo or a scania bus from the 1980s or early 1990s for a few thousand euros. Those things will have a million billion kilometers on the dial but they will do another million quite easily if needed.

That doesn’t sound very bootstrappy. In fact, it sounds downright socialist.
MAGAs are fine with socialized expenses as long as it is the country subsidizing the wealthy or if they are personally allowed to determine who receives money (so they can exclude black people).
When it’s conservative white people asking for money, it’s just a community pulling together. Totally different /s
bus crashes on Staten Island, leaving 2 people homeless: ‘That’s our life’
Its weirdly funnier without the pro-trump.
Couldn’t have happened to two bigger losers. FAFO.
“She added that only recently it became eligible to be fully insured, less than 48 hours before the incident.”
Oh, so this is a scam to get insurance and go fund me money.
Satan Take the Wheel
“I like people who didn’t crash.”
“Should we get our emergency brake fixed or use that money to try to fill in the remaining white space on this eyesore with more trump crap?”
Asking for Help is SOCIALIST! These people are COMMIES! REAL Trump Supporters would be FINE! TRUMP will PERSONALLY PAY THEM money so they can continue going! I’m a Republican and I think ALL THESE THINGS at the SAME TIME because I Think for Myself!
The judges were looking for Train Wreck but will accept Bus Wreck.
