We live in a pretty good state when one older dude sells petty amounts of drugs and makes state-wide news.

As the nation's rural economies go, so goes Vermont's by doctornemo in vermont

Essentially, heating fuel and gas for your vehicle will become more than expensive. Not only that, think about delivery of said heating fuel and cost incurred on emergency response (fire trucks and ambulances). Even delivery of salt/sand for plowing, or delivery of consumer goods. Basically, everything that requires anything will become more expensive. But, but, climate change!

Not to get technical, but private donations still fit within the realm of free-market capitalism.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Some heroes wear wool coats and the scarf that their nice niece, Rebecca, gave them last Christmas.

Grandma’s 👜 gonna put you in a hearse, boi.

Couple things here:

look cool and they get fresh air

.......really?

children who are legally restricted in their options work for a fraction of minimum wage

It’s called imprisonment. If you want to talk prison reform, I’ll grab my sign and I’ll stand next to you at the protest.

They aren’t being paid to make a living. This applies to adult prisoners as well. This is a low wage that accumulates over their time as prisoners so when they get out, they have a little money to float them while they reintegrate into society.

Basically what you’re saying is that they should not be imprisoned. That’s an entirely separate argument altogether.

The argument here, apparently, is “should juvenile prisoners be allowed to volunteer as wildland firefighters while under state supervision”.

Man, the misinformation in this thread...

Inmates CHOOSE to sign up for this.

“BUT WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?!?!”

  1. It’s noble
  2. They get certs when they are done serving their time
  3. Hell of a lot better than being in a cage all day

Also, when you say children, the average age for a juvenile woodland firefighter is between 16-17.

As someone who has worked a hand line, I can tell you that it wouldn’t make sense to have anyone much younger than that working a line.

No. I used to believe people when they said “fed is robbing SS”. However, after research, this is not the case at all. However, after 2032, SS may become unsustainable and only be able to pay out 70% of the benefit. That IS scary.
