Is a "we don't call 911" sign a real thing in America?

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

It's basically advertising that there are guns to steal in the house.

[-] Psynthesis@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

Yes , and usually has a picture of a pistol pointing at the observer. Frequency of use varies from place to place.

It's a real thing in Europe cause we call 112 or 999 if you're in the UK.

Yes. My neighbor has one. It’s so dumb.

My mom's neighbor has one. And by neighbor, I mean it's hanging on the door of a garage in the back of an alley, and his house is 10 minutes away. Not like he'd be there to call 911 most of the time anyway, I think I only saw him 3 times in 16 years of living there lol

This reminded me, does anyone know what the profit margin on ambulance trips are? They must surely be outrageous, but to what degree?

[-] Potato_in_my_anus@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Many years ago I was run over by a car, the charge of the ambulance was $800 USD, the total hospital bill for the 4 hours I was in "observation" was $28,000. I did not have medical insurance at that time.

How is that possible. A single accident and you're in debt for life ?

We don't call 911

Is this a far right thing or a far left thing?

[-] SamPond@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

there's no far left in the US

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

There is, but they get labeled as terrorists while far right gets called tourists when they storm the capital building.

[-] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

No Americans trust the government and that's the other sides fault somehow
