pure insanity
I should join.
Then we could do our nails together...
That’s going to end well.
If it wasn’t so pathetic I’d laugh.
Well, that’s stupid. And political. At least I can say that my agencies physical aptitude test is identical for males and females, and has been for 20+ years.

You’re pulling my leg right?
This is satire yes?/s
And I’m a slow white guy who can’t jump or play defense. But I want to play basketball. The Knicks should hire me to increase the diversity of their team.
satire?
they can’t be this stupid!
This is opening the door for anybody who can’t physically do the job, man or woman. Why should taxpayers be forced to pay the salary of someone who can’t physically do the job they are paid for?
Those finding themselves in a blaze and overcome by smoke will be expected to winch themselves out of the windows of burning building by use of block and tackle which the NYFD recommends be kept on hand. The fireperson will provide direction by megaphone.
They MEAN well...
It would be a greater tragedy than people dying in a fire if somehow the fire department staff were less diverse...
It NYC for chrippy’s sake, let it burn.
By their logic I can say hey, I’d like to be an airline pilot. No, I don’t have a pilots license, but that shouldn’t be an entrance barrier. Sign me up, I’ll “wing it” on the job just like the unfit, unsuitable firefighters will.
Wow. Consequences be damned. simply PC retardation must reign.
“He believes that first-year Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro should be concerned with doing a good job and saving people, not with what is politically correct.”
The fire commissioner isnt exactly the one behind this stupid decision. The socialist mayor is. Nigro (what a moniker) is only following orders because he wants to keep his paycheck.
“Supporters believe it will allow otherwise-competent firefighters to stay on the job.” So other than not being able to do the job, otherwise competent firefighters could stay on the job?
I’m 61 and have been battling Leukemia for the last ten years. Needless to say, the Disease and the Treatment has taken its toll.
I guess they can’t use that against me if I apply for a Job.
Where do I sign up? I really could use a New York City Fireman’s Pension.
Great...lower standards...more people die. Great, there, LIBs. You LIBs are mentally ill.
So just remember:
When your firefighter cannot carry your fat ass out of the burning building, at least you are dying for a politically correct cause, gender equality.
