In the next few years, if corrective action fails to be taken, we may be witnessing the collapse of fire and emergency services in the United States.

Fire departments are sounding the alarm, but there is little attention being taken by news outlets, the general public, or politicians.

What the public fails to realize time and time again, fire departments usually don't just handle fires, but they are multi-disciplined and respond to a wide array of emergencies, with medical emergencies being the largest call volume for those who respond to EMS calls.

Fleets are breaking down. New emergency vehicles are on a 4 year wait list. Compounding to the issue is the critical shortage of firefighters and other emergency service personnel.

The Texas Attorney General has launched an investigation probe into fire apparatus manufacturers for an alleged illegal anticompetitive scheme.

People MUST wake up right now.

Come on , $6 a gallon gas is little to pay for US to set up US Banks in Iran. It is little to pay to free the Iranian people or what is left of them.

If you are lucky, you have never had a partner cheat on you. Or maybe you had a partner cheat but you never learned about it, so there was never the opportunity to respond. But if you have caught a partner cheating. . . did you give them a second chance? How did that work out for you? Looking back, do you regret giving them a second chance?

I believe that to a substantial extent they do. It has been 81 years since there was a significant conflict between two major powers when even one of them possessed nuclear weapons. This has not occurred by accident. nuclear weapons are weapons whose primary function is not to be used. For example, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, both the U. S. and Soviet Union stepped back from the brink because leaders understood the catastrophic consequences.
