That was disgusting. Of course firefighters get paid. And they even get three meals (sometimes). Do doctors dance a jig every time there’s a car wreck, or someone has a heart attack?

Yes, firefighters get paid. But they also die, just trying to save a few houses. That kind of cynicism is the reason that many people turn against conservatives. Out of all the ways to see this story, you see it as a government spending story.
SO do you suggest they should do it for free, should they just let Cali burn? Or do you suggest it would be cheaper for Cali to maintain a giant firefighting capability instead of turning to surrounding areas to contract work at peak demand?

Weird
