We are in the midst of a nationwide volunteer firefighter shortage, putting some departments at the brink of collapse.

I believe there are many factors, such as economical circumstances where people have to work multiple full time jobs to stay afloat. I believe the fixation on tech may be a contributing factor too, as younger generations are glued to their phones and video games instead of wanting to get out and get their hands dirty. Although, news sources do claim GenZ is pursuing the trades too.

But one big contributing factor I feel is the emasculation of our boys, the attacks on masculinity over the years, the way people behave, and the hostility towards white men.

Let's be honest here. I was heavily involved in emergency services years ago, and the vast majority of volunteer firefighters and those involved in emergency services as a whole were white and male. You had tougher tomboy females involved and few minorities too, but the vast majority (at least what I witnessed) were white men.

I think people seem to forget that white men mostly kept things together. Now, everything is going to shit.

Before anyone asks they're not my kids but whenever I'm around my brother's or cousins' kids I find it extremely boring and I have no idea how parents can function

Sad story this young boy jumped in the water and bitten by a shark... died today. His friend was very brave to jump in the water and pull him to safety, but he died some time later.

She lost because

She didn't distance herself from all the bull shit stuff people hated about the Biden administration. She leaned into it if anything.

Because Joe Biden wouldn't step down early enough, making it look like Kamala slid right into a spot she didn't deserve. Which I understand is not really fair to hold against her.

The incessant celebrity endorsements really makes her look out of touch and full of shit. Also not really fair to hold against her. But Cardi B, J. Lo, ALL the late night hosts, and on and on. They are not like us so why would them endorsing her win anyone over?

Her not being willing to take a stand on Gaza really made her look bad to a lot of young voters

Her not being willing to step out and get in front of audiences that weren't EXTREMELY friendly to her, save that one fox news interview which didn't go great.

Although I don't think she was as bad as Hillary and Joe in this regard, it still felt like she was talking down to anyone that was on the fence or anyone from middle America. or really anyone from PA, NC, Wisconsin, Michigan. I just always felt this condescension to anyone not from LA. NYC, or DC.

Democrat turn out was down 19% because she was meh, she acted like the piss poor administration she was a part of was actually doing just fine, she made it obvious she thought things were just fine that last 4 years when they were not for a shit ton of people. If she's not even going to pretend to be a little different why go out and vote?
