Why is it that so many innocent suffer while the wicked seem to flourish? One asshole drowns children with razorwire in the Rio Grande, but survives a tree falling on his dipshit head, and now the guy trying to force schools to teach black people the "benefits slavery gave them" in public education is "unhurt."

This is how you know there's no God.

- A month or two ago five rich people died suddenly in a wrinkled chunk of carbon fiber and metal and the world cheered.
  
  Baby steps.

  One of them was a kid who was invited by one of the adults onboard if I heard correctly

- I saw a meme on here recently that said "the difference between me and God is if I saw a child getting raped, I'd step in and save it"

  I still think Stephen Fry's response to a Catholic priest said it best.

- This exactly. Religions are stupid. Either a) God doesn't exist or b) God does exist and is doing nothing about any of the evil people doing absolutely reprehensible shit in society right now.
  
  Either way, fuck God. If God exists he is no friend of mine.

- You are a scholar and a hero. Thank you

- Maybe this is hell and God isn't going to let the wicked out so easily.

- I'd imagine it's a combination of rich people getting better medical care, both preventatively and when something happens (and bad people who aren't rich don't make the news as much and don't stay in it), coupled with the fact that when something does happen to one of these people, they quickly fade from people's attention as new villains take their place. For instance, Herman Cain isn't in people's thoughts as much these days.

The chain reaction crash happened before 8:15 a.m. when traffic slowed on Interstate 75 in Chattanooga, causing four cars in the motorcade to hit one another, police said. All the vehicles involved in the crash were government vehicles taking DeSantis and his team to his scheduled event, police said.

So, one of the drivers in the motorcade was texting and didn’t notice that the car in front had stopped. Got it.

- And the other cars were following too closely for conditions.

  It's basically a mirror of his campaign.

  When I was in the military (a very long time ago) we would do convoy training (on civilian streets and highways). We were trained to basically ignore any follow distance rules. If you were driving, you had to be right on top of the person ahead of you.
  
  We also were constantly listening to the radio, and the directions given out by the lead vehicle. If the lead slowed, they announced it on radio, and we all slowed.
  
  The point here is, many of these government drivers went through the same training, and operate in the same convoy mindset. The main difference is that I drove a 5-ton, and they're in armored civilian cars.
  
  As a tangent, the funniest story I have is watching a guy several trucks ahead of me miss the exit off of the highway we were on. The rest of the convoy pulled over on the side of the service road and watched this idiot do a 5 point U-turn in the middle of a 4 lane Korean highway, so that he could drive the wrong way down the highway, to then make a wide turn onto the exit that he missed.
  
  He had been the 5th truck in the convoy. So we waited for him to pull up, get into position, and then the alternate driver for that truck took over.

DeSantis has now pledged to stop woke cars from destroying our country.

Such a shame.

This must be Disney's fault. The TRANSportation is to blame because it has the word trans in it.
