@LAbutyeah@NotBUFFY_VS@MikeVanriel2 70% of firefighters in the USA are volunteer, those are the real heroes. Name another job with a 6 figure starting salary a 21 year old with no degree can get? Besides being a cop in California
@LAbutyeah@NotBUFFY_VS@MikeVanriel2 That's the LAFD union, saying things all public sector unions say. What they don't say is how 90% of LAFD spending goes to sworn employees and 5% to civilians. LAFD starting salary is 90k per year for a job that requires no college education and no experience. Total scam
@ec0anarch0@PippengerHarlo Defunding police and spending the money we waste on them standing around doing nothing on those useful things you list. Liberals defunded those things you list to pay the police to stand around and do nothing
@LAbutyeah@NotBUFFY_VS@MikeVanriel2 The budget is set by the city council, the mayor just offers their opinion on what it should be. LAFD isn't understaffed. We have enough resources to send 5 firefighters and 2 paramedics on EMS calls.
@LAbutyeah@MikeVanriel2 Super weird how the Eaton fire was actually much worse, yet since LA County isn't run by a black woman & the fire chief wasn't a lesbian woman you weirdos have been completely silent about it. Woolsey fire burned all the way to the ocean less than a decade ago. You don't know LA
@LAbutyeah@MikeVanriel2 She doesn't fight fires. City agencies warn about not having enough toys ever year. Residents & firefighters drained the tanks trying to save homes. Deputy mayor has nothing to do with anything & why did Trump's DOJ let him off easy? 🤡
I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago.
Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it.
Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food.
Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world.
Love you all! ❤️
