Bus drivers are in the "transport industry." Larry
Roll, the soma-cum-loud "graduate" in "Human
Resources" (personnel department work) was a bus
driver!

Are you a bus driver, Jimmy?

Is there something wrong with being a bus driver, Len?

Jimmy avoided the obvious by misdirection into another's
alleged "misbehavior." Let's review that stuff about bus
driving by a pro-coder-uber-alles in this newsgroup:

Roll bragged himself to the skies in here about his academic
achievements while in some alleged college classes. He said
outright that he could get any job he wanted in 'human
resources' (personnel) after graduation. What did he do
instead? Became a bus driver.

Not just any bus driver, but one who "performed a service to
senior citizens" by slapping on a terrific (bafflegab) TITLE
to that job. Muy importante! :-)

So, we got treated to brags-before-they-happened by a morse-
man, then brags-after-he-couldn't-fulfill-his-original-brags
as performing some kind of 'service' to his community?

Now I've nothing against bus drivers, per se, provided they
observe all the vehicle laws and don't injure anyone. The
transportation services in any community do serve a purpose.
However, Jimmy took it all OUT OF CONTEXT, conveniently
omitting the blatant brags of Roll before-the-fact about his
'excellence' of scholarship and 'getting any job (in human
resources) he wanted.' Roll did NOT get a job in human
resources (personnel work). Roll got a job as a bus driver.
Jimmy tried to defend that by some kind of weird 'patriot'
ploy saying morseman Roll did his service-to-the-community
thing.

In the east San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles, there
are at least five small bus services NOT part of the Metro
Transit District big bus lines, all kept going by (what
Jimmy calls "subsidies from taxpayers") monies NOT derived
from "free market" captitalism. I have nothing against
those, either. They serve the communities.

But, Larry Roll was a MORSEMAN, an AMATEUR morseman. It is
the usual Standard Operating Procedure for ALL amateur
morsemen to support one another in here; none can do wrong.
Even if what they talk about hasn't the remotest chance of
being about amateur radio, the amateur morsemen are "right"
and others are "wrong" to criticize them.

Supporters. The "jock straps" of old radio operating
skills.



Two bus drivers have been in here; one left and one died.

Both are missed.

Jimmy is incorrect. Both were HIT many times when they were
here. HIT right on their self-described importance of
morsemanship.

Richard Carroll, W0EX, is also gone. He was such an amateur
morseman that he claimed to carry around a code key in his car
to use in case of an earthquake in the Missouri area.

That makes THREE morsemen who are "missed" by other morsemen.

Who will be the fourth morseketeer? The Katapult King?


IIRC, one of Larry Roll's duties was transporting senior citizens and
disabled people who couldn't drive. His work made it possible for them
to have much more mobility and independence.

Brian, that's one of the grossest bits of bull**** that Jimmy
has come up with in here. Here's a plain and simple fact:
Larry Roll, K3LT, got a job as a bus driver because he could
NOT get his choice of 'human resources' jobs. Roll FAILED
to live up to his own brags in here, so he rationalized it
into this 'serving the community' BS...and Jimmy just repeated
a version of it above.


That's nice. And before that, his (subsidized) work enabled the
freedoms that you take for granted.

Military servicemen are NOT subsidized. They are PAID for
their service by the government.

Some military personnel PAY the dearest price of all: Their
LIFE. Over three thousand United States military persons
paid that price in Iraq alone since our invasion of that
country in 2003.

I wonder what Jimmy thinks is a "subsidy" for volunteering
to give their LIFE for their country?


Larry Roll was a MSgt in the USAF. If I understand his period of
service, his "inactive" service commitment of 10 years just expired.
That's twenty years of putting your freedoms ahead of himself and his
family, followed by another 10 years of being on call to do it again.

Brian, that is irrelevant to Jimmy. Jimmy knows nothing of
military service, isn't involved, isn't a participant, never
was, never volunteered, wan't even a ("subsidized")
government worker.

Here's a plain and simple fact: By all apearances in this
newsgroup, James Miccolis has only ONE standard of others:
Morsemen are "good," non-morsemen are "bad, wrong, in error"
(and usually of lesser status as human beings).

It's the amateur morsemen's way...

Public transportation is NEVER sulf-sustaining, ALWAY subsidized.

Many just pay with failed marriages and alcohol abuse from the long
separations and stresses of military life. Others do pay with their
lives.

Consider the survivoring families of the WTC VS the surviving military
families of the Pentagon...

Some hit the jackpot, other got enough to bury their loved ones.

Not vewy Innewesting at all.

Yellow Cab and Greyhound are for profit corporations.

Amtrak, Metropolitan Transit Authority (NYC), and Chicago Transit
Authority are public and are subsidized.

Of course they are. They're still public transportation. Your error is

I've just given you a couple of examples which are public and not

It depends on what is considered "public" transportation.

Taxi companies and Greyhound are private enterprises, AFAIK. While they
do not receive direct money from the government, their business is
supported/facilitated by the government's use of tax money to build and
maintain roads, bridges, tunnels, etc.

Most forms of transportation receive or have received some form of
government support. Airlines don't build airports, trucking companies
don't build roads, shipping companies don't dredge harbors, etc. Yes,
their taxes and user fees help pay for those things, but those user
fees and taxes are on a pay-as-you-go basis, and rarely pay for the
entire cost.

This isn't a new thing - the Erie Canal wasn't built by private
enterprise, and the construction of the transcontinental railroad was
government funded - though the railroads paid back the construction
cost many times over in the form of real estate and other taxes.

To quote Webster (New Collegiate Dictionary):

"a grant by a government to a private person or comapny to assist an
enterprise *deemed advantageous to the public*" (emphasis added)

So your car and my car are public transportation?

You'll say and do anything to back up Dave.

Jimmy reached so far in that faulty logic that his hand is in the
next universe. :-)

By Miccolis "Wispy" Logic (not quite the "Fuzzy" kind), anyone
who rides on public transport and pays income tax means the
government is "subsidizing" public transport! :-)

This is getting hilarious. Too bad it is so sick...

Jimmy never served in the military.
Jimmy never volunteered to serve in the military.
Jimmy never served in any of his governments.
Jimmy "knows" all about the military and government!

Blech...
