JFC, how much would you be happy paying for the fire brigade?!
The fire brigade have early retirement is because the're unionised. Nothing to do with them being a public service...
They cost the UK less than 4 billion last year, ending early retirement is hardly going to save billions you plumb!

Do you don't know how much it costs, or what you be happy to pay for it?

Are you arguing that because you have no idea what they do it's a failed service? Can you name a for-profit company who does a better service? I have used them at work one but I don't actually work on a boat...

But how much should it cost? Can you say how much you'd be happy to pay for a fire service?

How much should the fire brigade cost a nation? More roadside assistance guys dying is not necessarily an indication that the work is more dangerous, but that their employers are not doing an adequate job of protecting them like... the fire service does...

I always thought of the borg as space zombies. They're mindless automatons who only care about assimilating. One bitten, you become one too.

UK speedrunning 2 of its 3 female leaders since Brexit with Liz Truss only being PM for 2 weeks, and Theresa May not holding office for a single full term.

I do find it necessary to argue with Roald Dahl about the whole antisemitism thing...

Rogan is a perfect storm of;
- expert of mma,
- have-a-beer-with energy,
- Can talk to whoever,
- Is easy listening,
- is right wing.
It's irreplicable and you can't ignore the reach he has. It arguably won trump the election.
Dunking is wasted energy. We need better ways of persuading people.

I randomly caught the release of Skyrim walking back from work one night. I'd played Morrowind to death but managed to completely miss they hype. Super psyched, I bought it, got home only to realise I didn't have a disk drive on my pc. I ended up downloading through Steam using the cd's key 🤣
