People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
California only allowed them to become non-inmate firefighters after being released this year. Because they were felons and thus could not be trusted with fighting fires outside of a detention setting, you see.

Also they all got covid in the prisons so they're not available to fight these fires that are now burning down everything.

Apparently Wikipedia says that the communist party of Germany allied with Antifa and so that means nazis. This is what he is saying.

There were Nazi communists (antisemitism is a hell of a drug), they were almost immediately killed off by the rest of the Nazis once the Nazis took power.

we just passed a law in cali that clears your record if you do time as an inmate firefighter, to make it more attractive so there are more people to fight the ever-growing nightmare fires

Note that this law only provides a means, it does not actually guarantee poo poo. I.e., if a judge thinks you're too black still a threat to society, your record won't be expunged.

Not to mention the fact that prisoners will already have rather large gaps in their employment history and lack of references and...

My wife’s college roommate from California is becoming a firefighter and she has had to give character references for her SO MANY times. I have a hard time believing the psychos who won’t hire you until they hear everyone you’ve ever lived with in the past 10 years say nice things about you multiple times will let a felon in, whether or not the law says it’s okay.

A lot of the firefighters that responded to 9/11 and after weren't paid. A lot of Long Island fire departments sent firefighters and paramedics/EMS and nearly all are volunteer. (Only 6 out of the 181 departments are paid)

Some of the highest property taxes in the country (double the average) and the people running into fires and on call for medical emergencies are unpaid volunteers.

One of my favorite episodes of Cowboy Bebop got pulled from syndication for a little while because it very prominently featured 2 skyscrapers being blown up by a terrorist.

Also, now that I think about it, the ostensibly American rival bounty hunter also blames the wrong person for the attack.

Bebop also had that episode with the shuttle, I think I heard something about them changing the name after the Columbia incident.

Google the Dude Fire in Arizona.

We’ve literally had inmate firefighters die (be burned alive) while fighting woodland fires and literally nobody gave a poo poo about them. Any changes happened because “real firefighters” died with them.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
It's a weird take because Shotguns generally have short range, so encourage more dangerous play. In Borderlands 2 (which I'm currently playing for the first time) I tend to only get up close when shotgunning, and use long range tactics when switching to pistols/machineguns, which is safer.
