The egg will be powder if it gets any more

Yeah, never mind; it was early. I didn't understand the original post and was so confused about why it was written, I didn't fully read these examples. From them, I now understand that people are using "run" as simple past. It isn't clear from the original post that was basis

Well, that sentence doesn't make sense::

I ran the company last year. (not anymore)
I have been running the company since last year. (still)
I had run the company last year before it went bust.

The first one is clear present —statement of fact

I don't understand what the issue is. I'm sitting here trying to figure out when "ran" is used inappropriately. I only use it for simple past

Those are simple present

Works better the American way in this instance since 911 is the emergency number

Rural areas have problems, and it's hard to compare them: Montana is bigger than Germany but only has about 100,000 people. Other places are not so different between the countries despite what the guy in the video is asserting.

If you want to see a country with real ambulance problems, look at the UK

Yes, and in the Rhineland, their target is almost 20 minutes. I suspect that the reason Germany has the law to aid ambulances is because they have significant challenges making good response times.

I'm actually surprised the situation isn't worse in rural areas of the US as the population density is so extremely sparse in some areas, you can hardly imagine

All I see is that it's nearly the same with the US more often being less than 8 minutes than Germany
