    Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building (set in New York) ended with a call to 911, “please hold, there are 72 emergencies before you”

    The link appears to be a transcript of a discussion between three individuals about a proposed assassin hotline and I have to say, if this is the level and quality of public discussion in the USA right now, you have bigger problems than a telephone number to call.

      Oh, the hotline will probably just hang up on the current 911 call of the best operator on duty and they will immediately take care of the more equal CEO.

        The best operator would pass the call to another operator and call back the person who was disconnected. Or have another operator call back the person who is disconnected.

          But, I mean… this isn’t a “hotline” to call the local news station with a juicy tip. I just know it’s going to jump the line at 911
