Be careful with fires if you live in Chicago. Given the effect DEI has on everything it touches, the competency of the fire department can be expected to decline. Black Lives Matter Mayor Brandon Johnson confirms that recruitment is based on race:

BREAKING🚨: Mayor Brandon Johnson: 'I'm working with our HR to ensure the city of Chicago has more black firefighters.'
