I'll take heartlessness for $400, Alex

Wow, nothing like a federal economist laughing at the plight of the middle class to really make you want to bite somebody!

Firefighters who want to live in high-priced cities can work two jobs, said W. Michael Cox, chief economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. “I think it’s great,” he said. “It gives you portfolio diversification in your income.”

Portfolio diversification?!? How about, never seeing your family, and still not being sure you can afford for anyone in your family to get sick? What a schmuck.
