Posted by ty97 Jul 27 '09, 20:02

How did that pass a cost/benefit analysis?

Responses:

Hell, my office has one in the breakroom on every floor in every building. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 20:39
Well, not *every* one. -- nm - Keynes Jul 27, 20:16
How many schools burn down, yet they all have fire alarms. -- nm - Redmond Jul 27, 20:16
It's Chicago. The president of the defibrilator company paid off the head of the school board. -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 20:15 1
- ^-- of course! This is the obvious answer. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 21:31
well they thought that one life is one too many if it could be avoided by having a defibrilator at hand? -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 20:09 8
- It's a nice theory, but if decision were truly made that way, there would be a lot more than defibrillators in school. -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 20:12 7
  - how much do you think they cost? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 27, 20:14 4
    - also, probably a good portion of the cost was donated to the schools - tRuMaN Jul 27, 20:21
    - if it's his tax dollars, too much! -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 20:15 2
      - ok, good night pixie. - ty97 Jul 27, 20:17
      - since he just moved there, it wouldnt be his tax dollars -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 27, 20:16
  - like what? a defibrilator seems a very cost-effective way to deal with emergency heart issues -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 20:13 1
    - they're in nearly every hockey rink in Canada. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 20:16
I think a few kids in chicago dropped dead of heart issues during basketball practices ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 20:05 3
- Not to mention the dozens of 50-something teachers. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 20:44 2
  - who grew up on the bratwurst and sauerkraut diet. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 20:52 1
    - And spend the entire day wrangling children and sitting around grading papers. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 21:46
why would it have had too -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 27, 20:04 2
- I would expect every decision that uses tax money to pass a cost/benefit analysis. -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 20:06 1
  - this isnt cq's tv watching we are talking about here. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 27, 20:08
