I hear you that you didn't have to pay something crazy but the fact that you ultimately paid $500 for a short ride and you think it was "successful experience" is how they fool us. You think you got a deal when they are still laughing all the way to the bank for charging you $500 for a short ride.


I don't know, I don't run an ambulance company- what should the cost be (either to me, my insurance company, or to the government)? Can't be cheap to fully staff an ambulance with EMTs.


Zero to you. Whatever it reasonably costs to government. A bit from you later in tax, but much more from Bezos.


What's "short" in your context? 20min?


Yes, but I'm talking about the costs of actually running a 24/7 emergency vehicle operation- even completely idle, the emergency vehicle has significant costs that they need to cover.
