-I can’t think of the last time someone said the fire got out of control due to the lack of qualified firefighters. It may happen, but I’ve never heard of it.

CEO’s run companies into the ground all the time and collect million dollar bonuses while doing it. The job isn’t so incredibly difficult..it’s getting the job in the first place that’s the crucible.

What are the odds on this guy living through the police response for this if he was a person of color?

By Florida standards this is a quiet stroll out to the mailbox and back.

75 year olds that can still muscle a Harley around are tough. Plenty of Grandparents are still buying quad cab F-150's to haul the grand kids around. They just send someone younger to get the luggage out of the far side of the bed!
