Our high school football team runs it and the Moron Lobby flag during games. The really funny thing is we used to have a cannon, but they took it away because it was too loud.

Fire departments are actually a sign of massive public waste. We need about half the firemen we have now, but you can't fire "heros". Ninety percent of the work they do is following ambulances and blocking traffic for cops, neither of which need trained professionals and incredibly expensive vehicles. Both of those jobs are "make work" required by local governments to keep firemen from sitting on their asses all day

Bet that dude really hates being told he has to keep a working smoke detector in his home

See, you just insult and don't even look it up. And no, I don't mind having smoke detectors, I have awesome ones from Google. I don't mind paying for something that has value.

I'm happy you gave me a real response. The stfu was rude and unnecessary

How was it poorly sourced? You back this statement with nothing. In fact you back your whole statement with no sources. Your reply is poorly sourced

I should have been nicer.

I also used to be a firefighter/emt, and I’ve actually done it in several countries, and several large american metropolitans. DC and Pittsburgh.

Yeah, a firefighter would be against losing their job.

Again, why on earth do you think "fewer fires" would mean "we need fewer firemen" rather than "we need the exact same amount of firemen, less often"?

Because I'm tired of seeing ten firemen go get food at the local Walmart. Always too many firemen.

Being ready for what? We are fighting less fires with more fire fighters. Cut it down to 6.1 fires per fireman per year from 3.1. 0ne fire every other month instead of every 4..

I'm not saying get rid of all firemen, just half. If you lose your job, you've got lots of safety training. Tons of companies will hire you. Maybe not 50 grand to sit around being "ready". Might have to do more than stand next to a truck.

You guys love you some firemen.

Firefighters are so cool that their union bans volunteering.

You're asking for sources from someone else and your source is basically the same anecdote quality as "I saw someone buying steaks and lobsters with their EBT, clearly we need to ban it!!"

gently caress off.

"I don't like you opinion so gently caress off". Good argument. You fire fighter lovers sure are good at debate!

Everybody loves freedom until their meth head, gun loving neighbor decides to do motorcycle repair at 230 am. Then they get to see how easily libertarianism turns into anarchy.

For the month. You have to do it all year long, buddy. They also have 20.54% inflation and 264% for the last 12 months. If Elon wants that, good for him.
