    You’re not wrong, but I give a bit of leeway to people who are willing to put themselves in danger to help others. Not too much though.

      meanwhile 98% of firefighters drive the equivalent of a Dodge Ram without need

      sure they’ll put themselves in danger… in certain conditions, and for money. ask them to respect cyclists or drive a smaller vehicle so they don’t run over kids, and nope that’s too much to ask, they have golf clubs to fit in there
