my private adustable rate law school loans from 17 years ago are finishing up at 3.4%. weird.
i kinda remember posters from the 70s saying, “won’t it be a great day when the military has to hold a bake sale to buy a missile”.
i guess that’s sduuuude’s position; the people will step up and hold a bake sale or pass the hat if there’s a war, or a raffle if there is less than optimal policing going on in the area to buy a new cop car. o
of course, wealthier neighborhoods will do better at raising money for cops than the poorer districts, but why should poor people expect to get a response, anyway? as Public Enemy’ flavor flav said in the 90’s, “911 is a joke”. Evidently he prefers the private sector as he notes in his rap, since he calls a cab since a cab will come quicker than 911:
Hit me
Going going gone
Now I dialed 911 a long time ago
Don’t you see how late they’re reactin’
They only come and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue embalm the goner
They don’t care ’cause they stay paid anyway
They teach ya like an ace they can’t be betrayed
I know you stumble with no use people
If your life is on the line they you’re dead today
Late comings with the late comin’ stretcher
That’s a body bag in disguise y’all betcha
I call ’em body snatchers quick they come to fetch ya?
With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya
They are the kings ’cause they swing amputation
Lose your arms, your legs to them it’s compilation
I can prove it to you watch the rotation
It all adds up to a funky situation
So get up get, get get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up, get, get, get down
Late 911 wears the late crown
911 is a joke
Everyday they don’t never come correct
You can ask my man right here with the broken neck
He’s a witness to the job never bein’ done
He would’ve been in full in 8 9-11
Was a joke ’cause they always jokin’
They the token to your life when it’s croakin’
They need to be in a pawn shop on a
911 is a joke we don’t want ’em
I call a cab ’cause a cab will come quicker
The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker
The reason that I say that ’cause they
Flick you off like fleas
They be laughin’ at ya while you’re crawlin’ on your knees
And to the strength so go the length
Thinkin’ you are first when you really are tenth
You better wake up and smell the real flavor
Cause 911 is a fake life saver
So get up, get, get get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up, get, get, get down
Late 911 wears the late crown
