      Dispite your subliminal biased steriotypical comment, we in Bermuda are envied around the world for our prompt hard working response teams that puts out Island back in working order, and they should be commended for their brave tasks while getting our electricity back on, clearing debri from our roads and covering roofs while cowards like you bunker down for safty.
      But yet you find time to share your personal vendeta of how you feel about bus drivers, same attitude why Trump was’nt invited to attend Mcaines funeral.
