Paramedicine was rated one of the most miserable career pathways in addition to one of the most underpaid professions.

When I was an EMT many years ago, these were the most miserable, pessimistic, cynical, depressed, toxic, and unhealthy people I had ever worked with. Many were just bluntly straight out mean. One was an older pedo that kept fantasizing and commenting about the all teenage girls he'd seen out in public. One was a former trucker that chose to change jobs. Just about all of them discouraged me from continuing in this line of work. None of them seemed to be the type that aspired to become what they were.

In addition, there were fast food jobs that were paying more. EMS is not embraced as public safety because cops get all the recognition and respect. EMS is not respected much in the healthcare industry. We were never recognized much in policymaking or by state leaders. In fact, many local leaders wanted to replace us entirely by private ambulance companies or didn't care much about us at all.

I believe EMS could have had the potential and momentum to be something great and well-respected, it just never materialized.

It is something that has bothered me till this day, even when I am 31 years old and disabled. My best friend works in EMS and he is one of the most selfless, caring people. It is a shame and disgusting how lousy people can be towards our heroes.

I support private ownership, entrepreneurship, and the ability for a private sector to exist and thrive. I denounce socialism, communism, and a distribution of weath as a go-to, defacto solution. However, I also do not believe everything should be privatized, as I support a mixed economy.

I do, however, believe there is a greed issue, and our youngest generations are not stupid. The "Own nothing: be 'Happy'" initiatives are predatory. Even Charlie Kirk said himself the lack of being able to have homeownership and real assets will radicalize a generation. In addition, when big tech companies conspire to spy on their customers while partnering with the federal government, this should send chills down everyone's spines.

I agree with Tucker Carlson that the Boomer generation has failed everyone. I agree with one of his guest speakers that everyone wants to grow their piece of the pie, but growing your piece by expanding your pie is the approach rather than consuming the rest of the pie (destroying everyone else's wealth at one's gain).

In addition, criminalizing homelessness when people can barely afford rent as they work multiple full-time jobs is inhumane and abhorrent. Enacting and enforcing strict zoning ordinances and preventing others from seeking alternative forms of housing, whether that be RVs or tiny homes, is disgusting. You either put up and remedy the housing issues or shut up and let people survive the way they see fit. I don't care how much of an eyesore it is to open your curtains in your McMansion and see a mobile home planted on the lawn next door. Your greed doesn't allow you to screw with others' living situations.
