Search Results: what is too many

I came across this news post in my feed today. This situation is in Virginia, although, I live in Tennessee and can see this happening here too. No one gives a shit about fire and emergency services anymore.

In summary, that county's administrator had this rural volunteer fire department shut down due to mismanagement and lack of certification. I wholeheartedly agree with that part, but instead of reforming a fire department/station and restoring fire services to that community, the county administrator decides to bulldoze the building for a new Dollar General store, leaving that community with less resources and relying on surrounding agencies.

There is a somewhat similar crooked situation in this rural community of Tennessee with a corrupt volunteer fire department that fails to be investigated, disciplined, or dissolved by the state or county. It is still continuing to operate with unsafe equipment and corrupt leadership with county leaders turning a blind eye. The area is 20 or more minutes from the nearest ambulance, and despite pleas to establish a first responder program for the area, those pleas go ignored.

I had a meeting with a university that wanted to know more about my startup, and they asked for a corporate website which I didn't have because I'm still seed stage and pre-revenue. I did consider setting up a corporate website before, but was too lazy since they're usually either blogs or e-commerce platforms. But now I guess I'm incenitivized to have one for legitimacy and to redirect third parties, so I don't need to keep explaining what my startup does or at least will intend to do.

I do recall having a WordPress account and a personal blog, and I think out of laziness and convenience I can just go for that or maybe consider Shopify. For WordPress, I can start out with a free domain and then later upgrade to paid and let them host it. I ain't gonna code a corporate website from scratch because it's less labour intensive to build a blog with no-code solutions, whereas for e-commerce too complex to build myself when Shopify is a thing. I just don't wanna keep on paying a monthly nor yearly fee just to keep the rights to the domain right now.
