How 911 calls actually work, according to a former dispatcher

Ricardo Martinez II spent more than a decade as a 911 dispatcher, handling thousands of emergencies as US 911 centers face a nationwide staffing and funding crisis. Across the country, emergency call centers are short-staffed, underfunded, and losing dispatchers faster than they can replace them. A 2023 survey found that one in four 911 positions nationwide is vacant, and 36% of centers reported having fewer positions filled in 2022 than in 2019. Martinez now works for a 911 solutions company that manages emergency call networking and trains dispatchers on multiple platforms.

I compared Costco shopping carts of Kirkland Signature products and brand names. The price differences surprised me.
NEWS | 18 January 2026
Many Costco members find the chain's own Kirkland Signature brand is the real ticket to getting the most bang for their buck, though. Although the Kirkland Signature brand offers dozens of products, not every product has a like-for-like alternative. I narrowed my list to 17 representative items and calculated the cost of an exclusively Kirkland Signature shopping cart compared with an exclusively national-brand cart. The branded shopping cart clocked in at $297, while the Kirkland cart was $72 less at $215 before discounts or taxes. In most cases, the unit prices for Kirkland Signature products were 10% to 50% lower than those of their national-brand counterparts.
