>>>I am not aware of any response to a scene that involves more resources than needed for any type of training or exercise.<<<<
My comment was based upon statistical data as far as the reduction in calls. I don`t know what you are aware- or not aware of--.
There are responses to get cats from trees, pump out basements, etc, which would not have, util comparitively recently warranted a response. This is a fact. The response for training/skill exercise is a fact and not an adverse criticism - merely a fact.

>>>I happened to drive by, and it looked like a massive response with a lot of emergency vehicles<<<<
Not to take anything away from emergency crews but in most cities changes in construction, methods of fire fighting, smoke detectors, other prevention measures and vastly improved communication, etc, over the recent years, have resulted in a major reduction in fire calls.
Most cities I think, respond more massively than required as an aid to crew training and skill exercise.Not necessarily a bad thing but not always a good thing either. Better safe than sorry. Just saying.
On GM reports $2.5B 3Q loss, says running out of cash

2 million job loss is a mere 1% of the work force. We have about 6 % unemployed now. That is not a bad figure and has been seen as ideal.
Depression was 25 % unemployed. You ain`t seen nothing yet. Matter of perception. The guy who is working sees no problems.

Hoarding. Well, a poor choice of words inasmuch as hoarding is generally defined as stockpiling goods thought to be coming into a shortage. No danger of garbage coming into short supply.

GM Stock is selling for about the same price as a gallon of gas. I expect there are some big foreign investors gambling on a GM comeback and buying a lot of it.
GM had its` chance to quit depending on gas guzzlers and hoping foreign oil price would never rise----------duh

If this bill is such a great idea, and such a boon to the taxpayer, why don`t we do it every year?

Netters - Visit the Washington Post and New York Times newspapers and see the hundreds and hundreds of comments railing against this bailout.
I am surprised I see little of this in the Gazette.
