No stinking regulations matter.

That never gets old to their constituents. They hate restrictions and regulations until it benefits them personally. Stupid hypocrites. Same with Social Security and Medicaid. They always hate "socialists" but are more than happy to accept financial help from these "socialist" programs.

A truck going down a steep hill lost control and slammed into a bus and several were killed, but the truck had also failed inspection and that company had a history of operating vehicles that had failed inspection. The company owner ended up getting 6 years in prison.

A couple of people fell out the back when the door swung open. Fell right onto the freeway. It was awful.

People just assume those vehicles are safe and they aren't.
