That must be pretty cold, being soaked outside like that. There's a high of 28 degrees F today.

I think they want to raise it to 67, no?

Maybe cities/states could have a program where employees in physical jobs like these, can do another job after they get too old...and then work that new job until they retire?

That's all well and good, until the police decide to soak the firefighters with their own toys.

It is much better that feeders at the public trough start to turn on each other to fight for the diminishing scraps rather than joining together in a united front in order to be able to extort more and more out of the taxpayers.
