I know that there is not much point in asking anything reasonable to a troll, but what on earth does paying people unemployment have to do with ambulances? Absolutely nothing.

Believe it or not, most people on unemployment actually are trying to find work, but it just isn't out there, due to how badly the last administration screwed up the economy. However, the once sector that continues to grow is that of health care. Which includes ambulances. Which means, if anything, there will be the same number or MORE ambulances out there, and hospitals (which are private, anyways) will still be there, regardless of the status of unemployment. What paying people unemployment does is make it so that they aren't homeless and starving while they try to find a job. I think that is a fabulous thing.

Besides you might mean "fewer" ambulances.

Thank you, McQ, that was bothering me too.

No, I can't make any sense out of that. You can't subtract ambulances from an unemployment extension (unless ambulances were, somehow, part of the unemployment extension before???) And ambulances are still discreet items. So either it's meaningless, "unemployment extension" doesn't mean what I think it means, or it should still be "fewer".

No I think he means "minus" or sans the ambulences completely vs a smaller quantity, ie "...less the ambulence." It's more a saying using "less" incorrectly mostly on purpose. Such as "more substance, less the hubris," or "More kissie poo, less touch the peepee."

If people cut back on their fatty foods, we'd probably see fewer ambulances running to save the victims of heart-attacks. The ones needed could be a little less ambulance thanks to the lesser weight of the victim.
