Using an url shortener smells like phishing
- Yeh, I can't believe an emergency service (which I would consider a government agency) is using a URL shortener.
  No wonder scammers also use URL shorteners. People get desensitized to what they are doing, masking the actual URL
  
  I would think they could have a legit .gov url shortener. They're not much code and easy enough to run at scale.
  
  I'd vote for u.gov.
  
  how much security clearance would I need for a u.gov rickroll
- they gotta recoup them tax dollars
  
  They really don't. Just don't spend them on cocaine.
  
  unless they are sharing.... I guess.
