Why do you consider that a disgusting comment? The man obviously worked incredibly hard to become a paramedic — that’s essentially a college degree — and that is on top of earning his EMT. The country needs paramedics everywhere and there are plenty of job opportunities. Paramedics must pass a national certification exam and that is not easy to do. Why do YOU suppose he wasn’t able to build a career on that after successfully becoming a paramedic? In my experience, the most frequent reason people are homeless is they got involved with drugs and were unable to keep a job. Paramedics are routinely drug tested and if you fail, you are out.
What’s disgusting about suggesting that all that money should not be used to help one lucky individual? Wouldn’t it be a lot wiser to donate it to a charity to use for many people in need?
I feel sorry for you to have to attack me for what are normal questions that should be asked in such cases.
I hope you and your family have a good Thanksgiving. Good luck overcoming your hostility and misplaced anger.
