Pandering. Big cities are jokes. They don’t give a damn about competency.

Only $40 grand? What a piker.
Typically they have Suburbans or Tahoes or Explorers.
60 grand these days.

Yet the past five FDNY commissioners had extensive prior experience with the FDNY and/or NYPD before becoming FDNY commissioner, including fighting fires.

And i only went back and looked at the previous five

Agreed - but that was about 12 years ago; now it would be at least $60 grand.

“ A woman doesn’t belong in the fire department, much less head of it.”

Call me sexist but I can list a few places where women don’t belong, one of them being the captain’s seat of a commercial airplane. Another, and a pet peeve, is watching a woman conduct a major symphony orchestra where nearly all performers are men. YouTube keeps pushing these videos to my feed.

Not so...Daniel DiNegro held the position for 8 years and came up through the ranks. Joined the FDNY in 1969. They’ve now made it totally political.

The only way a white woman gets hired is if she’s a lesbo.

I’m surprised that no one has posted a picture of Fire Commissioner Kavanagh yet. Here she is:

Very happy that all my FDNY friends are retired. ‘Though I’m certain this does not please them at all, at least they’re not forced to serve under this travesty.

Another, and a pet peeve, is watching a woman conduct a major symphony orchestra where nearly all performers are men.

Not saying it's the case for what you've seen but the critical biological component of a symphony conductor is the depth of hearing. If she's got it, good for her.

Granted, a good orchestra that's well practiced can make any conductor shine. It matters much less who's conducting opening night - who was conducting during all the practices?
