I bet from their point of view, they ordered meatloaf and were given dog food.1982vett":29gub4h4 said:Hmm.....I know I ordered meatloaf but you should have brought me prime rib......
All I'm saying is the got what they paid for. Evidently Verizon filled the order...emergency or not. It's the first responders outfitters that failed to provide the tools needed to insure the safety of everyone concerned. They don't send those trucks out with a tank of gas from Exxon and expect the next Exxon station up the road to refill it when it runs out of gas. And it's always about the $$$. How much did the emergency services "save" by going with a "cheaper" plan? My guess it bit them in the ask.greybeard":2yj7b0rv said:To me, there's more than a little difference between what yall and I use and need personally for piddling around the internet and what firefighters and all other first responders need in emergency situations.
When their's and others' lives are at stake, it shouldn't be about $$$.
