Yes. I can.

If one does not have breathing apparatus, then going into thick smoke, especially the toxic smoke from burning foam mattresses will get you killed, likely before getting anyone out.

These rinky-dink facilities don’t have breathing apparatus (which requires training), they don’t have fire suppression and smoke evacuation, apparently, and they don’t have central unlocking. Once the smoke filled that area, there’s not much that can be done until the firefighters get there with proper equipment.

Same here

My work sends me places for a couple years before moving me along (San Diego to Palm Springs to Austin to Denver)

I also still travel to other places for a month at a time for work (ex Utah or Seattle, etc)

My daily work conversations:

Where are you from?

San Diego

Whoa what part do live in?

Nah I live in Denver

Oh so you just moved to Utah?

No, I grew up in San Diego, my company moved me to Denver, and now I’m here in Utah for a month on work

At this point they just sort of stumble away confused

You cannot possibly be that ignorant to think that it’s ok to call a black man in the south “boy.” Are you serious?

My southern father taught me that saying that was racist by the age of 5 or 6. I refuse to believe anyone living in the south is this uninformed and naive.

Just plain old gaslighting.
