How First Responders Are Forced To Cut Back On Services As Gas Prices Rise
source
“Cutting back on Service” without affecting service? Sounds like Joe Biden statement.
Police cars , ambulances , maintenance trucks , School busses , and food trucks which fills our groceries and supermarkets is need oil and gas , we need MOREEEEE
Crazy to think with the $6k bill they can't afford gas what's really going
Stop giving money to Ukraine
Maybe states should have their own oil/gas reserves for emergency services in these times and possibly going further their own oil production for those that have it under state owned land.
The Late, Great T. Boone Pickens had a plan to convert heavy trucks from diesel to nat gas. Cleaner and cheaper. Of course, the imbeciles in charge of this country did nothing. R.I.P. Boone.
Mass protest outside the homes of Oil company CEOs until the price goes down !
Americans follow Fox TV conspiracies and protest outside vote official homes and are 'too stupid' to protest for reality.
Say what….
nobody cares, find a new job then.
He said if you call 911 you will get help but he didn’t say anyone was coming to you or if someone will provide help right away.
Is it a mostly peaceful cutback?
Alright liberals time to defend these consequences!!
Wtf is this
…I know it's always a crapshoot whether an Emergency will happen when a Crew leaves the station, but is it really necessary for a crew of 6 Firefighters to drive a Ladder to the local Wal-mart week in and week out? I see so much more waste by EMS than just simply picking and choosing what Calls to show up to and how many vehicles to send.
If you voted for Biden you voted for this nonsense because some tweets from the prior guy triggered you. Smooth!
Can’t blame the previous president for this 😂
I started a petition to urge US State Senators to vote on a bill that would prevent price gouging at the gas pumps.
It needs to pass in the Senate if we want to see the end of price gouging at the pump. http://www.change.org/gas_prices
Remember to thank your fellow American who voted for Biden and high gas prices never vote for democrat again we were gas independent under Trump Biden is puppet of the green new deal AOC. Strength voter integrity no to voter fraud. God is aware of the democrats and Biden abuse against the poor middle class of this country, shame on them
Well We can give Ukraine another $40 Billion instead of helping Fire and Police Stations to keep people safe.
they should tell politicians “sorry gas is to expensive so we can’t save you lol”
I'm already saving money by staying at home watching all of these subscription services.
"Going out to eat, going to the movies, going to a bar, going to a gym, lol stupid human tricks that are all a waste of money. I can cook better than most restaurants who cook out of #10 cans.
I can watch movies on Netflix or Amazon for free.
I have my own bar and mix better drinks myself. I built bars. Thus I don't need a gym.
The economy doesn't effect me.
yes it is tiring Excuses this Government is making this Excuses by this consequence getting prices high or Medium or Low Hope that Biden should get arrested by this manner funding Money from the bank
we need millions of law enforcement drones and robots and medical drones and robots everywhere all the time. so we can have super security everywhere all the time and help. EVs and other tech will help us go so much further as a species.
The Democrats have breached the Capital building in Washington D.C. So far seven of the insurrectionists have been arrested and are in jail awaiting their criminal trial.
Don't worry our insurance will pay that 500.00 bill..
Aren't we paying taxes for that
If you call 911, you will get help… except in uvalde if you're a child
All Biden has to do is force the big corporations to absorb the inflation instead of putting it on the shoulders of the people. The big corporations won't lose money. They just won't have as massive of a profit.
This is why I will never live in a tiny town. These places just cant provide services efficiently because of their small scale.
Bruh we have to pay an arm and a leg for an ambulance ride. You better get out and push.
"Is it REALLY an emergency?"
BS!!!!! Lazy workers!!!!
Maybe healthcare for profit isn't the greatest idea, one million covid deaths later…
Sooner or later, they'll need to carpool with other emergency services such as the firefighters. Remember to light something on fire when you call 911 so that they can carpool and save gas money!
Thanks Mr President and all the dum dums who voted for this…
At $1,000 for a 5 min ride to the hospital, I don't want to hear any excuses about gas prices
