I spent 32 years responding to similar "medical emergency" calls like that. It's an abuse of the system and often ties up services that could actually be needed by other people who actually have something wrong with them. Most of them lived in the projects or in Section 8 apartments. To them, the term "gainfully employed" was a foreign concept. One of my coworkers frequently referred to them as "democrats"!

The other Mack is one I have posted here before, way back on March 16th, 2016. That shot was taken at it's original home in Pennsylvania. On Saturday, I photographed it again, at it's third home, Edison, GA. It was recently replaced by a newer pumper and was just sold to a collector in Florida. Glad I caught it before it went south!

It has been a while since my last post here, but that is because I have not photographed any more Mack fire apparatus. This past Saturday, I photographed two Mack pumpers. The first one was the first Mack MC chassis equipped with the 285 horsepower Mack diesel. At 41 years old, it is still in front line service in this rural Georgia county, but there is talk of replacing it, due to it having a standard transmission and only a couple members are able to operate it. Engine 2, Quitman County, GA 1979 Mack MC686F10 1000/750 #1001 x-Juniata Gap, PA

You can't blame him, Rob. On February 16th, Joe didn't have any memory of what he did on December 21st or January 11th. Today, he has no memory of what he said on February 16th!

If you paid $1500, you did a lousy job of filling out your w-4's! If you are saying your taxes increased by $1500, go back and reread my comment about the SALT cap! How many years prior to the TCJA did the rest of us subsidize your Federal taxes? I didn't need any help, so you guessed wrong. Even with the reduction, I still payed more taxes than over 50% of Americans!

That's exactly what the liberal media told you to say. I'm certainly not rich, but the TCJA lowered my taxes by over $1500 each year for the past three years! You are obviously complaining about the SALT cap, but you misplace the blame. It should be directed at your state and local governments for their ridiculously high taxes. My SALT are only about one-third of the cap. As for the elimination of personal exemptions, I completely agree with it. Why should someone with numerous children get a bigger tax break than someone who doesn't have kids to claim? Why should I be taxed more?
