aggregate fire budget for LA, politico reported that the actual assertion that it was cut at all is incorrect because, and I quote, the city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted. And so 50 million more was added. I think it's good for you to state it because it's been changing every 12 hours. The human mind tries to place blame or understand what's happening here if you are for less government. You might have wanted to cut budgets to reduce deficits, right?
And and that's reasonable. And then now you're left with the position, well, okay, hey, we've got the fire department's budget and here's what happened. Or you might think, oh, the fire chief is a lesbian and this is a DEI hire and not double click on it and look at her track record. And her track record is she was in the top 50 of 1,600, 16,000 applicants. when she went to it and she's got this incredibly storied career.
So just I hate to break the newspaper. I don't think lesbians cause the Santa Ana wins. This week in Startups is brought to you by Northwest Registered Agent. Starting your business should be simple.
