First responders rant

[Juan]

I'm tired of seeing first responders get special treatment and perks like free food, extra pay, first in line for Covid shots and even a holiday named after them! Sure, they provide a needed service but so do farmers, doctors and even lawyers and garbage workers. They do what they do because it's their job and they applied for that job knowing what they would be doing. They get paid to do it and I doubt there are many who would do it if they didn't get a paycheck, so enough with the special treatment! That said, let me also say I truly appreciate each and every first responder and what they do... BUT ... Give me a break!
Rant over.

Can't disagree with you, same thing goes with the military to be honest about it, yes I appreciate all the thanks for my service and all that, but I chose to do it and it was my job.

Probably gonna get flamed for that but it is what it is.

Same here, I agree, 100% ..

As a framer for 25 years and still in the new home building business , I agree.
Thanks for serving.

I saw where Goodell gave the entire covid unit in Sarasota, Fl free superbowl tickets.. You want to tell me who is going to be manning the covid unit in 2 weeks? I actually have no problem as while they (like the military) are really stepping up when times are tough. Yeah, they're making bank doing it (unlike the military), but I have no issue showing extra appreciation in these unusual times.
