We don't "worship" first responders, we see exactly what they do for us, and believe me, when they get a chance to catch some Z's or eat a meal they are covered in soot and sweat and we don't begrudge them. My daughter's lower property was all torn up by fire trucks and equipment because it ended up being a staging area in the last big regional fire we had. Did she go boo-hoo over that? Hell no -- she brought them donuts when she was finally able to go back up the road to see if the house was still standing. They go into terrifying places the rest of us run from. Some of them die.
As for NJ and NY, I am not out there in the flood zone exposing myself to sewage-born diseases, am I? (are you?) I'm safe at home with a case of flu, checking in at DU and generally about ready to chuck DU. Again.
BTW, "Government sucks" and the rest of it are GOP memes, in case you forgot.
Here's to the first responders
