In Switzerland volunteer firefighting is common.
So is universal healthcare, free college education and a safety net.
Are firefighters in Switzerland doing bake sells to pay for maintenance on their equipment like the people in the cities in the article or does the government do it?
"universal healthcare" is funded by insurance.
No, they purchase their equipment funded by taxes.
Insurance isn’t tied to your job in Switzerland and firefighters aren’t doing bake sales for equipment. That’s my point.
