Comments:

What do the billionaires get? Probably helicopters, certainly not electric ambulances. Is this another population reduction measure?

This all fits into the depopulation plan. It has nothing to do with saving energy!

If the battery goes dead, the equipment that's being used on you goes dead, which means YOU go dead. Good plan, you idiots.

They have to weld a bicycle generator to the roof to take over in case of battery failure in the middle of nowhere. The no longer necessary driver of the dead ambulance can climb up there and keep the defib charged. Stupidity on steroids.

All the more reason to follow the ambulance once the patient is loaded, to make sure they make it to the hospital. Oh, and sue any ambulance company whose vehicle fails to complete the trip. If they can't deliver, then don't pay.

You can't afford to get sick, now you can't afford to get into an ambulance unless the ride is short, it's not cold or raining and you are not too tall. Ambulance chasing lawyers will now have a much easier job because the green ones will be easier to catch.

My Rescue Squad, just had a new ambulance delivered. A Ford 550 chasis with their biggest diesel engine and the cost was $280,000 dollars, we ordered it two years ago. Today the price is up by another $50,000 dollars. When I joined a paid Fire Department in 1964 they were using Pontiac station wagons. The they went to International carry-alls, and eventually over the years they started buying we call the boxes. The large and roomy boxes we use today. Now they want to put us back in electric Carry-alls. The electric usage in an ambulance is pretty harsh. The light, the monitors, the radio's the suction devices, the portables that need charging the Lucas devices for CPR, even the cots need batteries that charge off the motor. Buying an electric ambulance is crazy.

Some police departments switched to EVs. They had to abandon them because they couldn't catch anyone in an ICE vehicle.

How is this cost effective? There will always be ambulances out of service because they are re-charging. They will need to have extra ambulances or reduce service.

Of all the vehicles that shouldn't be run by a battery, it an emergency vehicle. It has dozens of power hungry devices beside the lighting: Heart things, resuscitators, radios, monitors, etc. But they can provide instant heat for the patient.

Joe Biden should really show his support for "green cars". He should order that his presidential car, "The Beast" be all electric and that all vehicles in his 40 car convoy be electric. And, if the Secret Service doesn't like it, he should show his leadership and override them. Until he does that, he is just hot air.

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — The sleet and rain were unforgiving here on Feb. 22, 2023, the day former President Donald Trump came to this small Columbiana County village.

Can Nikki Haley read the room? Apparently not. With the New Hampshire primary just two days away, on Sunday she played the race card in a big way, making outlandish and implausible claims about her youth in South Carolina. Whose votes is she trying to win? Those of patriotic voters who are thoroughly sick of charges of “racism” being used as a weapon or those of the entrenched Washington establishment that weaponized those charges? The answer isn’t even close to being in doubt. Haley came out big for identity politics saying: “We were the only Indian family in our small southern town. I was teased every day for being brown.

Absurdistan has to take a victory lap here - celebrate the wins! The Securities and Exchange Commission has abandoned the idea of monetizing America’s National Parks and public lands and selling them to whoever wanted a piece, leaving outfits elected by hedge funds to manage ‘biological diversity’, ‘health’, safety and access. Hedge funds are pirates, the least likely to care about those lands, and who knows how they would broker them off once public attention fades.

The nation’s ruling class holds deeply authoritarian opinions widely divorced from the rest of the American electorate, finds a survey out this week. It found nearly 60 percent of American “elites” think there is too much individual freedom in America. Meanwhile, nearly 60 percent of registered voters have the exact opposite opinion, reporting the United States has too much top-down control, limiting liberty. The study from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity found ruling class opinions on climate policies were particularly harsh and despotic. More than two-thirds of the 1 percent support rationing vital energy and food sources in an attempt to control the globe’s weather.

After 12 years of wandering in the wilderness of the D.C. court system, Michael Mann’s defamation case against Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg has finally gone to trial. Opening statements were delivered today. (Snip) The case, as you likely recall, arises out of an internet post written by Simberg, which Steyn quoted and added a few comments to. The two posts drew a parallel between Jerry Sandusky, the disgraced Penn State’s administration in what amounted to a cover-up. Steyn described Mann’s famous hockey stick temperature chart–accurately–as fraudulent. Mark fired his lawyer some time ago and elected to try his case pro se.

Good grief — it’s been over three months, and writers are still expressing shock, surprise, and outrage that Muslims murdered, mutilated, raped, and tortured Jews on 10/7. (Snip) Because it will happen again, I suggest the following to prevent future shock, surprise, and outrage. First, recognize the cause of 10/7. Although it is comforting to believe that Hamas, a specific group in a relatively small area, was the cause of 10/7, this is incorrect. The snarky among you will quickly respond that Hezb’allah and Iran were also responsible. This is also incorrect. The correct answer is that Islam was the cause of 10/7.

A local buyer taking over a struggling newspaper in the 21st century is normally cause for some celebration. But The Baltimore Sun’s newly announced owner has a very specific political background, and some are concerned about what the 187-year-old publication could become. David D. Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair broadcasting chain and an active contributor to conservative causes, has bought Baltimore Sun Media from the investment firm Alden Global Capital. The purchase price was not disclosed. Smith met with Sun employees on Tuesday to talk about his plans, saying he hopes to make the newsroom more profitable. He was not made available for an interview with The Associated Press.

What does surprise me is that movie theaters across America, as well as Hulu (a Disney-owned company) will be showing it in the coming days as part of the trailers they routinely screen before running a picture or TV show. The PSA is filmed to look like the trailer for an upcoming thriller or horror movie. It ends by reminding viewers that this is the real horror that Israel

On Wednesday, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them into Federal service, removing them from the command and control of the State of Texas. This is presumably in response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiant tone towards the Biden Administration on closing the border. A Texas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Bryn Spejcher, now 33, got high on marijuana in 2018, stabbed her boyfriend over a hundred times, knifed her dog and then herself, and yet received no jail time because defense experts deemed that she experienced "cannabis-induced psychosis"—a conclusion which the judge amazingly agreed with. To put it bluntly, this is absolute lunacy.

Nitrogen hypoxia: Why Alabama's execution
of Kenneth Smith stirs ethical controversy.

Posted by Hazymac 1/25/2024 9:26:22 AM Post Reply
Alabama was set to carry out the first-ever execution by nitrogen hypoxia on death row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith on Thursday. The planned execution raises heated questions about the ethics of using the untried method to execute Smith, who has been through one previous execution attempt. If the execution is carried out, nitrogen hypoxia would be the first new method of execution since 1982, when the lethal injection was introduced. What is nitrogen hypoxia? Nitrogen hypoxia is a form of execution in which an inmate is deprived of oxygen until they breath only nitrogen, causing asphyxiation. Nitrogen, a colorless, odorless gas, makes up about 80% of the air we breathe. It isn't deadly until

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a population of just under 700,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
