Lives in jeopardy while Detroit waits for new EMS fleet to arrive

1:13 its so sad, you can hear the reporter crying

[@420junebud]

how is it that the government has all this money for bombs and wars but you don't have money to help your own citizens? As an the EMR I am outraged and can only imagine the extra stress added to an already stressful job because they're not supplied the right tools or working tools. what a joke

[@MrWhite-pn7ui]

That's federal government, you moron. The corrupt democrat city council of Detroit is responsible for this mess. Years of welfare spending and opulent salaries for themselves have led to this.

[@thejewsarecomingjosefstali640]

The government shouldn't be managing EMS companies.

[@ibobeko4309]

because they dont have a lobby group!

[@someguy9873]

Because it's funded by the city, not the feds.

You do not need these fancy expensive rigs. For a city so mismanaged and poor, they could fall back to panel trucks with basic equipment inside. It would cut expenses in half.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Ambulances are required to have specific safety standards, and have required equipment that has to be on them to operate set by the state
