The Fire Department New York is estimating it might have to close 62 fire companies and lay off more than 1,000 firefighters and the board that governs the once flush-with-cash Kansas City school district is taking the unusual and contentious step of shuttering almost half its schools.
Fire Departments and Schools?!?!
Am I watching the complete disintegration of a civilization right in front of my eyes? Are these really our priorities? Our morals? Spend money on one illegal war and one that is impossible to win (why are we in Afghanistan?) and give $700 billion + to banks who were irresponsible and went bankrupt. The banks, with our tax dollars, then raise rates and continue to kick us out of our homes, then give big their top brass huge bonuses!
If this were a movie script someone handed me four years ago, I would say totally implausible.
