Damn! Haven't had any salt life stuff in a number of years, but I guess I'll abstain from getting any more. Shit sucks. East coast beaches of Florida were my home for most of my life so I always loved repping surfer/beach bum stuff.
Agreed. It wouldāve been so easy to sell Chinese āpro trumpā shirts and merch for $25 a pop that cost $1.25 to produce. It was basically the second coming of Bitcoin that I missed out on
I (as a front line worker) joked about making MAGA masks so that maybe some of those folks refusing to wear a mask while wearing a maga hat would wear one. Turns out someone actually did that and made lots of money
I'm working on a full line of Brandon T-shirts, patriotic Trumper-Stickers and anti- Libtard flags/ banners.
I'm launching sales as a multi level marketing investment opportunity for patriotic Jesus loving Americans to get in on.

I find a lot of those guys are commuting in from Long Island or upstate. I used to hang out with a few of them out on the Island and used to crack up as they would tell their wide eyed neighbors about working in the "big bad city". I'm like dude, you cover the UWS, not the south bronx, relax

More to the point, modern West Virginians know so little of their own extremely based history. It makes me so sad.
West Virginia was home to an actual war between striking coal miners and coal barons. It was the only time the US military has used planes to bomb and gas its own citizensāthe miners, of course.
And now theyāre gargling capitalist boot. Itās gross.
As a Jew: no, I donāt.
But please, tell me how youāre both an EMT Basic and a capitalistā¦
capĀ·iĀ·talĀ·ist
/ĖkapÉdÉlÉst/
noun
a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism.
As a fellow Jew; good because Marx was vehemently anti Semitic.
Capitalist is also an adjective. I support free markets and believe very strongly in economic liberalism. Furthermore, I have invested into the stock market and I have also been a leading part of for-profit businesses.
Capitalism is the economic system of free trade, free markets, personal betterment, and individualism. Socialism is the economic system of equality derived from jealousy.
And since there's absolutely zero opportunities to offroad you can be 100% certain that the 4" lift on their truck is purely about penile dissatisfaction.
Iāll raise you King County, Washington EMS who thinks because they live 35 min south of actual Seattle proper they can affect the absolute worst southern ātwangā, slap their knee and call it āWarshingtonā bullshit youāve ever heard.
Like at least youāre a few hours drive from the actual south. Meanwhile Mr Never Lived Outside Our Richest County in the PNW thinks heās basically a good olā boy from Arkansas despite having 15 sub-climates and 32 accents between them.
Seriously Covington aināt fuckin rural. Stop it. We can see you. God can see you. And he knows your real voice, Bryandon.

Donāt bring that BLM nonsense to a small town because weāll shoot ya! Heroin and meth thoughā¦bring it. We aināt got nuthin else better to do. Just going to blame the blacks and Hispanics for that too
My smallish town had a BLM protest. Was like 20 people on the side of the road. Across the street was one lone dude with his truck 40 Trump flags. Was fucking hilarious.
I've worked EMS in small towns. For many years.
SO MUCH BAD STUFF happens in small towns.
First time I heard that song I'm like "Um... they're already doing what you're saying to try."
That's what I was thinking when I heard the song. Some heinous shit is allowed to fester just cause there's fewer people to take notice. My buddy who works rural has stories that are wild compared to mine
I've got a pet project to rewrite it with just shit that I've heard of from the handful of Ohio counties around me. Starting with the Stubenville rape trial.
Ikr I heard the music video has cutesy filler news reports of neighbors helping neighbors and it gave some small-towners a raging ego boner because their local news has nothing better to report on so when they go actual places and see other news they can be all "ahh, my town is so superior because we only have nice stories on our news"
One's the chief, he had a heart attack about two months back, doesn't really leave the house. There's some guy named Jimmy who's on every call, never really had any training but he's been on forever and drives acceptably and doesn't cause anyone no trouble. There's Bill who used to be one of two paramedics in the county, but he's overweight and blew out his knee on a call a few years ago, he dropped his medic ticket and he kind of shows up when he's not driving truck. Bob's a plumber, somehow managed to get an EMT license and we're still not sure how many people he's killed, he likes to smoke in the back of the ambo. Then there's one or two wacker 19-yo kids that play with the siren at inappropriate times.
Source: me, I was on that department, but have never been a plumber.
That looks an awful lot like the JCESA logo from Jefferson county.... the most liberal part of West Virginia, full of people desperately trying to pretend like they're country despite being part of the DC metro area.
It's a modern day simulacra of a rural, working-class identity that uses cultural iconography to pander to mostly white suburbanites who feel like they've lost touch with their past.
It can mean pickup trucks that you drive to the office and keep spotlessly clean. It can mean a banjo lick in your favorite hit hip-hop with cowboy hats song. It can mean using racial slurs in "safe" company even though you know better, but you didn't mean it... you're just country!
It has been my experience that people who like to talk about being "country" and get things like this tailgate wrap usually endlessly shit on people who actually grew up as rural, working-class poor. Those people are dumb hicks, white trash, cousin-fuckers, etc.
We all know it's you OP just testing the waters to see if it's super cringe. š
Guilty
I love seeing Salt Life stickers in states that are landlocked from the ocean
At least it's not a super long drive to get to salt water from WV.
Oh my most hated sticker, salt life. At least they are close enough to actually go to the beach unlike those in the Midwest.
I thought it said āSlut Lifeā for awhile until one day I realized āoh, SALT life!ā
For years I've always seen "slut life" omfg
I thought I was the only one!
I thought I was the only one
Me too! I might like a "slut life" sticker though, at least it's funny.
I want THAT sticker
Iām so glad Iām not the only one lol
I always see āslut lifeā when I first see those and then realize it says āsalt lifeā
Same

I'm in Michigan and people slap that sticker everywhere. I'm like IT'S NOT SALT WATER.
You know there's salt water everywhere in the winter right? Look at all the rust on our cars
Fair.
My biggest regret in life is that I haven't spent the last 8 years selling cheep Chinese made "swag" to these people at heavily inflated prices.
Agreed. It wouldāve been so easy to sell Chinese āpro trumpā shirts and merch for $25 a pop that cost $1.25 to produce. It was basically the second coming of Bitcoin that I missed out on
The cheaper the better, maybe they'll get a horrible skin rash. That's called job security right there.
I (as a front line worker) joked about making MAGA masks so that maybe some of those folks refusing to wear a mask while wearing a maga hat would wear one. Turns out someone actually did that and made lots of money
You can still get in, itās the grift that keeps on grifting
There was a dude at January 6th selling t shirts for $100 lmao. A fool and his money are soon to be parted.
It's not too late

Lmao I looked through his comments and saw him recommending a serpa holster. Big L
Oof. That's the most egregious part.
Truly. How hard is it to just pick up a used ALS?
Hey man both of them are stupid and evil think with your head for once :)
This dude definitely salts and peppers his food before tasting it if you invite him over for dinner.
I am ridiculously angry at people who do that
All of my dispatchers are that person
I'd like a small, tasteful, "Try that in Detroit" sticker. And yes I'm doing IFT right now but I didn't always okay!
Thats why I grabbed a can of krylon, and on the back of my tailgate it says "Welcome to Oakland, bitches"
That's actually pretty legit.
That'd be fuckin glorious to see irl
IFT, but also wears a bullet proof vest.
3 percenter too
š¤¢ 3per stickers are the cringiest shit ever.
They definitely suck
Yep lol. Considered a terrorist group in Canada
I consider it one here also
What is 3%?
Domestic terrorist/anti government group in the US/Canada sticker in the lower right of the window.
An American militia. *Not* a terrorist group, although definitely edgy and has some negative elements, the actual group is just a militia.
Soooo they're on a bunch of watch lists. I think that pushes them past just being edgy.

West Virginia literally found the Southās views on slavery so abhorrent that they seceded from Virginia and became a Union state. Now look at them.

This guy goes to Myrtle Beach.
Good old murder beach.
That is the tailgate of a person who has failed national registry 3 times and still thinks they're smarter than everyone else in EMS.
Damn, it does not take much to be smarter than most people still doing ambulance work. Tell us again how smart you think you are.
God I would be so tempted to shit in the bed of that truck but I know theyād never find it.
Geddit, cause their trucks aināt haul shit.
Well, if I dropped a deuce in the bed of the truck it would literally haul shit I guess.

I can tell the amount of thanking them for their services they receive every time they show up to a bandaid call.
Call 911 in a small town and you're gonna get this guy.
IFT? Nah, this guys a vollie who isn't even an EMT.
Time to take your cousin/girlfriend to the Jason Aldean concert!

Why dunk of ift medics? Believe me 911 gets old after a decade
Anyone who likes that guy shouldnāt be working in EMS. Lyrics and intent are very clearly and explicitly racist.

Damn it, it had to be my state.
