Money has many ironies. Here’s an important one:
Wealth is what you don’t see
My time as a valet was in the mid-200os in Los Angeles, when material appearance took precedence over everything but oxygen.

Why don’t school buses have seatbelts?
School buses are designed in a compartmentalized fashion, that is the seats are close together with high backs, which keeps passengers relatively restrained in a crash, even without seat belts.
