Hahaha that's adorable NO TF WE ARE NOT. you are saying yay fox in charge of henhouse is good thing and I am saying no, fox in charge of henhouse is very bad thing for everyone except fox!  

I have worked stints in fire finance and ohhhh boy I can ASSURE you contractors are exponentially more expensive than govt firefighters. Because taxpayers pay the person that OWNS the contracting company. I'm sure the person who OWNS the contracting company pays the laborors who work for them not very much at all, which is why the person who OWNS the contractors is making a massive profit and writing articles about why that's such a very good thing! 

Boy I sure hope this helps. Like I said, enjoy bootlicking though. (Pssst you are not a fox homie)

Edit- here's the part where I rage stroked out. My friend and I had a little miscommunication but we're good 😂 leaving this up though, never know who needs to see it

Are you fkn with me dude 😂 I'm having a stroke then. All I saw was you repeatedly linking to fox news with no context about your opinion, so maybe you can forgive me for not assuming you don't buy into the source and author you linked. Lol glad we're on the same page though
