My guess is these people are being overpaid to look the other way in times of disasters. AND to keep their mouths shut if/when the media ask for commentary or opinions during times of anomalies in fires, weather, ocean events...you name it. They are being over paid to be 'mum'.
What's the point here? That you cmd+f "lifeguard" and found people that make more than you think they should? These positions are responsible for protecting people over 70 miles coastline, not sitting by a pool and doing next to nothing.
I remember when I was a lifeguard as a summer job between college semesters making minimum wage. the worst part of the job was putting up with six year olds in beginning swimming classes. and there was no overtime, ever.
Holy Hell! "The top-paid lifeguard in LA county was compensated more than $500,000 in 2024; and over the past 5 years, a single lifeguard was able to pull down $702,000 – in overtime alone!"

Wow! How much do they pay firefighters, policemen, and other safety personnel? they all put themselves in harms way to save others.
The people living there vote for this. No sympathy. Don't bring this malfeasance to my locality.
