This is a really poorly written article in many ways.
I thought people had lost access to their pensions.
And how does not getting a yearly increase leave people living "hand to mouth".
Geez!
Dozens? They're going to need thousands. Which were requested and approved in 2020, but cancelled by the FCC in 2023.
The cynic in me says they were cancelled because the Dems are mad at Elon...

It is very sad that these poor souls had to die this way. They and their families deserve prayers. Also it must have been horrible as a firefighter or paramedic to be there.
I just hope that they will learn from this and go back to the old days when we had fire drills in the bus to know how to escape. Obviously this doesn’t always work but it certainly helps.
Ghouls. Agreed, when you look at the CCTV there are no flames or explosion and in the zoomed in part you can see the bus lurch, stop and pale grey smoke starting to billow over the bus, which indicates to me extreme heat has generated from under the chassis area fanned by the forward movement of the bus, when stopped erupted into flame and fuelled by the insulation, wall and ceiling panels, seats, quickly got a hold and spread. You can see other ghoul-footage of the bus burning and the 'seat' of the fire is clearly discernible.
The Road Transport and Fire Investigators will prove the origins of the fire.
I love them so will put it on/in almost anything where I want a salty/savoury flavour.
