IMO firefighters and police are well overpaid (in general), but what many who feel this way fail to understand is that there is a large segment of people in our population who patronize and worship police and firefighters. Yes, it’s strange I know but also true.
Do I appreciate what they do? Sure, but I refuse to put them on a pedestal like so many other misguided fools.
And yes, bring volunteer firefighters back – hell I’ll even volunteer myself – and when you weirdo worshipers approach me there will be no need to drop to your knees.
