  1. ….I’ve said here a thousand times that the REST of the City services don’t exist in a vacuum. You HAVE to have order for the REST of it to work.

    This is what I mean.

    Depending on the service, ambulances may have all SORTS of things in them, particularly in the drug box, that folks might want to avail themselves of. Even pure 02 is good for folks to get a “high”, that’s one reason (not the ONLY reason) you need a prescription to get it.

    Pretty stupid choice of escape vehicle, tho. You’d sooner dock a battleship in a bathtub than do high speed cornering in a high cube ambulance. Among other issues, it’s tough to drift with dullness. They’re big, they’re intentionally garish, they don’t blend very well…

    …demising the police will have a domino effect, wrecking ALL civil society. Private institutions like hospitals won’t be able to defend themselves either, and doctors drive cars that are MUCH nicer than ambulances…

  2. If it weren’t for Houston, Dallas, El Pisshole, Austin & San Antonio, Texas would be a wealthy, thriving free place with people really not needing all the guns they tote around.
    But still doing it because they can.
