    Very true.

    I was thinking more along the lines of DC Baltimore NY and Miami.

    I'm just so curious at what is next from him though.

    His goalposts have moved halfway across the globe at this point.

    Edit: lol. Case in point of moved goalposts.... "any east coast city" becoming just four cities.

    I don't think that vehicle is in compliance with national standards. It has no doors.

    How often do you think hospitals run back up generators to supplement their power consumption?

    I was humored by him at first but I got tired of it even when he is confronted being hypocritical. To me he's like that old dude that walks around in your town that's been wearing the same clothes for years and talks to himself and has a 10 year old Slurpee cup he reuses. He's our resident TW town crazy homeless person.

    That's the issue I don't think motorcycles meet the national saftey compliance for occupants that respond to emergencies. The cab has to be enclosed.

    I'll give you my sample size of one because I actually worked on those generators at that hospital and it was zero. They only used them during power outages and to cycle them so they're ready for power outages. Never as supplemental.

    What does this have to do with anything? Some use them to supplement and some don't. You're speaking like all hospitals are exactly like the four you've been to with no parking, full throttle ambulance service, not enough power, etc.

    Not even on extreme temperature days whenb the hospital is at full capacity?

    I don't honestly know.

    You were the one suggesting that ambulances could be charged while at the ER.

    Where would that electricity come from?

    Amputate enough limbs and you could get some extra power from the hospital incinerator I suppose.

    Edit: apologies for being pedantic. So since you brought up Miami here are some hospitals with EV plugs you could call and see where their power comes from if that's a question that you can't comprehend the answer to. https://www.google.com/search?q=hos...JgBAKABAcgBEcABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

    Are hospitals still allowed to operate incinerators? They may be, but IDK. Seems like the last time I was at the business end of a hospital all the waste went out in a roll off dumpster. I'm not sure if any incinerator can accept medical waste, with the amount of EPA regulations.


    I don't think employees and vistors charging their cars, would use as much electricity as ambulances.

    It’s Chilewich and you’ll have to go to Williams Sonoma if you wants place mats made of the same material.

    That stuff is awesome. Easy to clean, water resistant. Very durable. Good choice for a mat
