Or my favorite. EMTs only get $15/hr. You think fast food workers should make as much as them?

No you asshole. EMTs should make more than that. Why aren't you fighting for everyone to make more?

Low EMT pay boils my blood. I have a friend who is a career EMT and the fact that he doesn't get paid enough for what is a back-breaking and emotionally-tolling job is enraging. He works harder than any CEO, that's for sure.

Maybe it's cause I just woke up, but reading this after being totally unable to decipher anything except the mental image of the koolaid man in a LARP battle is the funniest shit ever.
