If you're like me, you're fed up to here with public unions demanding to be excluded from any economic hardship the rest of the country is forced to endure, and to boot, they want to take even more of your money that you don't have to maintain their lifestyle, benefits, and pensions.
I have solutions. Let's start with "The Firefighters".
Fire them all, close down the firehouses, and sell the properties and assets.
The money that is generated just from eliminating their compensation and benefits, and to say nothing of eliminating the money it costs to create and maintain their infrastructure, such as buildings, trucks, equipment, training, etc, would Easily pay to rebuild Any and All structures damaged or destroyed by fire.
The firefighters never save a building anyway. If it looks like the building might survive, they take their axes to it to be sure it doesn't. They destroy virtually everything within with water and chop the suckers to the ground to be sure there are no remaining 'smoldering embers' when they leave to go back to the firehouse to cook up some firehouse chili.
Seriously, Maybe once a year they post a picture of a firefighter carrying a traumatized cat from a building. I think they recycle these pictures.
So, there ya go. Boom. One problem solved, one major taxpayer funded expense Eliminated.
Next time, we'll deal with the cops.
Until then,
