“Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don’t include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town’s identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg’s firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company.”
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It’s not coming back.
I mean, I can’t blame people for being exhausted with taxes and everything. Wages have been mostly stagnant for fifty years, while everything is getting relentlessly monetized and the cost of living keeps spiraling out of control. I get why people could feel less than excited about ratcheting up the cost of living more. I just wish people thought a little bit past that first step of “it’ll cost me more money right now?! No way!”
