Yes a bunch of poor people in a rural area trying to raise money from a bunch of other poor people doesn’t seem to be working out too well… But in Johns Creek

Yes a bunch of poor people in a rural area trying to raise money from a bunch of other poor people doesn’t seem to be working out too well…
But in Johns Creek where I use to live where the median household income is $170k. Firefighters aren’t volunteering

I am arguing that in the US as a nation, no firefighter should have to “volunteer” that’s where the state and federal government should step in.
I’m more okay with taking my tax dollars as a person who makes a good living to help rural areas and I would vote for a politician to help them before they would.
- Gud 11mo agoIn Switzerland volunteer firefighting is common.
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoSo is universal healthcare, free college education and a safety net. Are firefighters in Switzerland doing bake sells to pay for maintenance on their equipment like the people in the cities in the article or does the government do it?
- Gud 11mo ago"universal healthcare" is funded by insurance. No, they purchase their equipment funded by taxes.
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoInsurance isn’t tied to your job in Switzerland and firefighters aren’t doing bake sales for equipment. That’s my point.
