Well that didn't work out as planned

The screeching steel, roaring loudly as the large metal contraption charges onward, propelling its large body upon the ground, burning a liquid explosive compound as it's power source. Inside the massive machina, I command it's every move, turning at my whim and halting it, sending it howling to a stop. Within it's curved and hammered steel belly lie smaller spawns, all different shapes and sizes, many whom cry out, some in lament and others, horrid excitement.

The one thing I do not like about Lemmy: the insane amount of boomer humour here.
Public Transportation is no joke!

Man school bus driver is not stable work lol. That shit is fucked.

School bus driver here. Depending on the district you drive for, it can be stable. At mine, we make over $30/hr and get benefits like health insurance and a small pension (after ten years on the job). However, you don't get a lot of hours (typically 4-5 a day, although the most senior drivers can get 8+ hours a day) and generally no (or very little) work in the summers - for me, this is part of the job's appeal. We are a union shop, which is pretty important to the situation.
The lack of stability comes from the fact that there's a strong tendency for school districts to privatize and hand over transportation responsibilities to private bus companies, which generally use older poorly-maintained buses, and hire any creatures that seem to be alive and have CDLs to drive while not doing criminal background checks on them or testing for drugs and alcohol and paying them a lot less with no benefits. The advantage of privatization is that it ends up costing school districts more because of the much higher accident rates.
However, I don't think the meme here is referring to a school bus driver. School buses are expensive, but nowhere near $400K.
Thanks. Agreed on the last point.

(I used to be one as well)My shoulders have grown calloused and stiff from the weight of the innocent lives I guide to their myriad destinations. Day in, day out, I command this dragon of steel in their service. My feet and hands puppeteer this ferrous beast in arcane rhythms, a symphony of gears and fire known by few and heard by none. For this deed, I take no reward, no reimbursement, save for the standard remuneration of a monthly salary, which, quite ironically, is nothing to ride home about.
