@slamwontmiss This is the generation that had to the BEST case American scenario. The same assholes screaming “fixed income”, not wanting to contribute to school taxes. I HATE THESE MFrs!!!!
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL To you as well
I was in the service before these careers (nursing/firefighting). So I’ve been through these events for a total of 27 years. I told my people this will go in 3 stages
1. Punch in mouth
2. Chaos
3. An equilibrium
Only time will tell what the equilibrium is
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL In your world the sky is falling, my perception is different. That’s modern America…polarized opinion, zero discourse
Oh well, anyways, I’m done. People can vote as they please, makes no difference to me, I’ll still show up and do what I can with what I got.
Good luck
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL My battalion alone saved 11 from rising flood waters in the last one that hit us. Pretty dangerous op. The power grid kept turning on as I had 2 teams searching through waist high water making grabs. That was without regional help because they TAD at other locations far worse
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL Was also a trauma nurse and at a community funded trauma center for 12 years. All of these programs get funded by this. I’ve seen ALLOT of pain and suffering over the years for unplanned tragedies. You might think you’re good, then one day
No volunteers in any of these stories
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL 3/3 for. For instance, Our district has the only fully funded, staffed, and trained dive team for a county of 900,000. We snatch dead kids outta water allot. No one else does it. Program shut down if vote passes. It’s just facts. No scare tactics, just a PL spreadsheet
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL Drastically different. For instance in my dept we’re looking at:
1. Letting 40% of the line personnel go
2. Closing a station
3. Discontinuing ALS service
4. Dismantling special teams
These are budget facts. Regardless of what your hearing
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL 1/2 Actually, none of the above. I’m late in my career. At this point, haven’t got allot left in the tank for political stunts and current events. In the last 22 years, if seen a thing or two.
I’m just a battalion chief, we’ll still come with whatever we got but it’s gonna look
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL 2/2
1. Paid professional are available in seconds notice to respond with training, experience, and equipment
2. You wait as volunteers get to the station, turn out, and get there “if available”
The voters will get what they’re asking for, I don’t know if they’re ready for it
@Seanmaloney0@HollyBullardFL 1/2 Everyone’s a small government, conservative, libertarian, etc…whatever term you wanna apply until it’s the zero hour. You and your family are pinned into a twisted pretzel of metal in the middle of an intersection. You have less than 1 hour to get to a surgeon’s table
