I’ve never known a liberal firefighter. They are prone to recruitment by authoritarians.

My response was carefully worded—I worked with firefighters and police as a medic for almost 20 years. I have many firefighter friends—my nextdoor neighbor is a firefighter—it’s just my locale is dominated by non-liberals. Not everyone I’m sure.

They’ve been ranting to me since Clinton was president.

Oh, they're far too entitled to ever do actual hard work.

Jim Hightower, and Lyndon Johnson…Don’t be so quick to judge Texans.

:tengallonhat: :longhorncattle: :yeehaw: 😉👍

They could be legal immigrants.

It is full of oil money and RW culture warrior types.

This does not surprise me at all.

Emt is essential in any community but as this shows those guys have got a lot of time on their hands.

They've forfeited their duty.

I’m so ashamed of what we have become.

They always bring in huge crews of immigrants for the initial rapid response. In New Orleans, they even have a statue to thank the immigrants who responded after Hurricane Katrina.

With insurance skyrocketing already due to climate change, a big hurricane and no labor to rebuild would likely cause a housing crash that may not remain localized to just Florida.
