This is way too much money.

Big ups to lifeguards but we need to stop paying so much OT in general. CHP has the same issue.

Edit: is the math right? $70.8M / 134 = $528k which is more than the highest paid lifeguard.

It’s obviously partisan so presenting the figures in the worst possible light but the link to the original article has this:

> Total compensation was $70.8 million for the 134 lifeguards last year, and includes the following: base pay, overtime pay, “other” pay, leave time payouts, health insurance payments, pension contributions, deferred contributions, long-term disability and life insurances, and “other” benefits.

Such a fucking huge waste of money. They should honestly knock the amount up by $30M and get 1 openai engineer instead.
