"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
Well, if you ask firefighters if firefighting should be privatized, you'll usually get a "lmao NO!" And also a "but that's different!" And that's the escape hatch of every conservative ever. They think that everything they believe applies to everything else but themselves. Every other government service except the fire service is corrupt, wasteful, and backwards. They don't believe that the fascists could ever possibly be talking about them, because they know that what they're doing is actually important.
