There yuh have it, folks.

Gavin depends on Slavery to keep his Kingdom from burning down.

How ‘bout payin’ a living wage, Gruesome? Don’t you value your property?

[ClearCase_guy]

I apologize if I'm just not looking at this right, but --

The average compensation for an inmate firefighter is $3.63 per day -- I thought Lincoln freed the slaves?

If your state firefighting strategy is depending on using prisoners to do a chunk of the work, then you may have a questionable strategy.

No slave labor?

“Been mighty dry lately.”
“Yup. I figure those hills are likely to catch fire real easy.”
“I suppose so. I sure hope a bunch of guys commit crimes real soon. We’re gonna need all the firefighters we can get.”
“I’ve got my fingers crossed, Gov Newsome.”

What is an “inmate firefighter?” Are these prison inmates that are put on the line to fight fires instead of breaking rocks with a sledge hammer?

[Graybeard58]

What's all this 'slavery" talk about? I've never heard about anyone >volunteering for slavery and for that matter, volunteers don't usually get paid at all.

This is pathetic. Leftists idiocy is beyond comprehension. I would NEVER have thought to make prisoners the bulk of of a firefighting force. Simply moronic on its face. But hey, when you have to pay every illegal alien’s housing cost and food, you have to make up for it somewhere.

Soros and China are paying them 200/day to burn down cities.
