26. "All vehicular occupants are required to wear seat belts." Does that include buses?

As far as the morality of the Walmart executives, IMO there is no morality associated with capitalism. In this country the most important ideal seems to be acquiring wealth (or maintaining wealth). The behavior of the Walmart executives is no different that most other large corporations that are injecting poisons in our aquaifers, etc. Not sympathizing with the executives but pointing out that it is symptomatic of a much larger problem that is exacerbating climate change.

My best wishes to Mr. Morgan and the others injured in this terrible accident.
