Is a “we don’t call 911” sign a real thing in America?
The signs exist, usually as militany bravado. I like this one because it pairs the dumb sign with America’s debilitating healthcare costs.
So is it meant to be interpreted as a threat? As in if you break into my house I won’t call the police I’ll just shoot you.
Isn’t that the same as a “trespasses will be shot” sign that’s been around for decades.
I think it’s more like “we don’t need big gubment, we’re self sufficient”.
It’s really a great sign because it sends multiple messages like: “I’m easily swayed by propaganda aimed at morons.” And “I need you to know my personal feelings about this because I’ve made it part of my identity while I scream about identity politics.”
Yes. It is a threat
It’s basically advertising that there are guns to steal in the house.
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?

You probably meant to use significant. Magnificent is something of great beauty. I don’t think them stealing EMTs wage is beautiful but maybe you do so am not gonna judge you. /s /jk
Oh daddy, overcharge me for your goods and services!
They don’t pay them minimum wage here, think it starts at $18 whereas min wage is 7.50 I think.
They do rip people off though
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 ?
Man people always complain about this but it’s super easy to get out of these without paying nearly as much.
-
Call and ask for an itemized bill.
-
Get bill 3 months later and see the price hasn’t changed
-
Call and ask about a payment plan
3b. Make less than $10k a year so you qualify
- Go back in time and get health insurance
4b. Go back and get health insurance that doesn’t have a $12k deductible
4c. Go back and get health insurance that has a low deductible and actually covers at least half of your treatment
- Maybe just don’t get run over by cars. Or get sick. Or inherit genetic diseases. And for the love of God don’t get hurt on the job.
It’s really that easy.

We don’t call 911
Is this a far right thing or a far left thing?
there’s no far left in the US
There is, but they get labeled as terrorists while far right gets called tourists when they storm the capital building.
Yes.
No Americans trust the government and that’s the other sides fault somehow
A man of integrity. RIP
