You're upset that we're socializing the cost of training first responders, just like we have for all training for first responders?

No, as I stated in the comment, as a concept there's no issue with that.

The problem is that the costs for preparing for these events are going to be enormous, are going to be shouldered by systems that are struggling to maintain current capabilities and that those costs are not proportional to the benefits being received by having these vehicles operating.

The orgs that create the problem receive billions in value, mostly, from the federal gov't while the costs are shouldered by local gov't. This is before you take into account how those same orgs are behaving in other areas of society.

You said "No" and then to went on to explain your answer as if it was a "Yes"

I feel as though I've articulated my issues with the disproportionate expense of dealing with EV Class 8s from a first responder perspective being placed on local communities.

If you want to read that as not wanting the public to pay for first responders, you're of course free to do so.
