You've got to drive a long frigging way to find an ER in South Central LA.

They've shuttered all those hospitals because again, they're owned by all these hedge fund companies.

There's no profit there.

And there's no elective procedures happening and people aren't paying $10,000 for Botox injections or whatever.

And so folks just call the fire department and call 911 when they need anything done.

And one of the most frightening experiences I've ever witnessed, and I didn't witness it directly, but on this ride along was they got a call because this woman had fallen out of her bed and they needed the firemen to put her back in the bed because the woman weighed 500 pounds.

And this is the kind of service that the firemen are doing nonstop in communities like this.

Occasionally they put out a fire, but most of it is someone's having a psychotic episode.

They're dealing with healthcare issues and they're doing community work and so-and-so didn't take his meds and passed out.

And they, you know, get their blood sugar back up with some apple slices and orange juice or whatever.

And they,

and they're applauded and cheered wherever they go.

Cause the firemen really are doing the service, uh, uh, in those communities.

And it was, it was really, it was really eyeopening.

And, uh, it, I was truly humbled seeing them work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well said.

Yeah.

Um, firefighters, not firemen.
