#TTRPG #DnD how I felt last night.
My #Investment
Each paycheck, we pay down $400 in debt (credit card and personal loans)
Invest $25 in each of the following: Roth401k, Gold with @HardAssetsAll and Bitcoin.
We put $100 into the emergency fund. Till it gets to $2k, then goes to the new car fund.

People should not call 911 ambulances because they can’t afford a taxi/uber.
If you feel a taxi would be a safe way to go to the ER, you likely don’t need the ER.
@Jack Spirko have you see the series of news reports in the last three days explaining how expensive it is to raise chickens?
A coop will start at $2k and cost $20 a dozen.
I’ve been following the news on the #50501protest #50state
I kind of hate to ask, but where was this energy for Harris in October?
#EMSLife 16 hours, 14 calls, 11 transports, 1 refusal.
The refusal was a person in their low 30’s who “just wanted my blood pressure checked”
At 0100
No symptoms just wanted to be checked.
Tied up an ambulance got 20 min.
#EMSLife
Call: sick kid. Short of air, won’t stop crying. <1 yo
Not crying on arrival with lights and sirens.
Parent states: the child “has started teething and I don’t have any (pain control gel), we need to go to the ER”

Higher tariffs will reduce the amount imported.
This is a good thing for the environment.
It takes less energy to move a product a 1,000 miles than to move it 12,000 miles. Less energy, less pollution.
Tariffs Canada had on U.S. products last year under Biden who did nothing to stop it.
Milk: 270%
Cheese: 245%
Butter: 298%
Chicken: 238%
Sausages: 69.9%
Barley seed: 57.8%
Bovine/meat: 26.5%
Cars: 25%
HVAC: 45%
Vacuums: 35%
Cable boxes: 35%
TVs: 45%
Steel: 25%
Aluminum: 45%
Copper: 48%

Federal Military pay should be federal income tax free. (Still pay Social Security and Medicaid)
Right now it is like a person hands you $100, then takes $28 back
Why not just give them $72 and call it good?
#EMSLife 16 hours on shift.
18 calls, 15 transports to hospitals.
Max time down at parking area - 18 minutes. (Most of the night was clear-copy)
Sad thing was only four of the transports were actual emergencies.
frustrated #EMSLife
Rolled up on a single car MVC
3 kids under 10, 1 “adult”
None of the kids had car seats in place. 2 seats were in the back, the booster was in the front passenger seat
All were slightly injured
Cop refused to ticket the driver “they were too rushed to get home to use car seats”
Biggest face palm call last night
30ish sick person
911 code 3 (lights&siren) because call taker felt they were not breathing well while screamed at CT
Elbow has been hurting for 3 days and wants to go to the ER by ambulance so “will be seen faster” & get to work on time
#EMSLife
Very disturbing fact was posted about the “shut down” of Medicaid by AOC
She said 41% of all births are paid for by Medicaid.
#Medicaid is a no cost insurance for those at or below poverty level.
So 41% of kids are born in poverty? The census says it’s less than 12% (which is still too high)
#EMSLife call: 27 yo, rapid heart rate.
Pale, agitated, diaphoretic, rapid pulse.
“When did this start?”
“Like five minutes after we did some cocaine.”
🤦🏽♂️
Bet there was a connection.
Political opinion:
Originally the first to be deported were the people in prison or in the court system. Criminals.
These public round ups seem like the agency “doing its job” in the worst way to cause a backlash and force the gov to stop making them do more.
#Deportation #Migrants
A great way to end a training run.
Finish as the sun comes up.
