Firefighters confronted DeSantis’ governing board on Wednesday. “The removal of this benefit takes away, for some, their entire reason for working here."

    Eh, might not be that black and white.

    Who’s to say that these firefighters chose the Disney district over a neighbor because of the better benefits? Maybe they have young kids who they want to be able to enjoy the parks on a regular basis without spending so much. Maybe this benefit is worth an extra 30 minute commute each day. Lots of reasons to chose one job over another.

    Let’s not just shit on everybody who loses a nice thing. I doubt these people are fighting fires solely for the paycheck.

        Except they’re basically enacting rules against accepting gifts like this, saying it’s unethical. Like a bribe.

          Ahh, their fuckery knows no bounds. My mom asked me what I thought of DeSantis today. I’m like…do you have an hour?
