If it’s a legitimate fire the House has ways to shut it down.
There is a niche industry of private firefighters in SoCal. I’m not sure why he is tweeting for them instead of googling them, and calling.
“Did someone email us about a fire?”
Is there really? My heavens.
Well this is about a place in the us and we are in full clown world.
Makes sence that private sector fire departments are back. Wonder if they will also start back up the practice of arson towards thier competition.
“Why isn’t throwing money at the fire making it stop???”
He should just douse the fire with bootstraps.
He should grab the flames and take them off the house.
Get fucked Keith, Crassus and his shitty private firemen haven’t been around for a fat minute. But hey you should celebrate, this is your free market paradise right here. Meteorological markets shorted the value of your home’s existence.
He’s gonna get an insurance payout like almost everyone there. I wouldn’t be surprised if state legislature takes tax money from the masses to make the rich who live there ‘whole’ on top of it.
Then there’s FEMA/Federal tax dollars that they’ll get even if the state government doesn’t hand them piles of cash.
They always get their payday. They never actually risk anything, they just steal from the middle class taxpayers.
Insurance companies don’t like to pay out for the same thing more than once.
Well think of the shareholders. This is gonna tank some insurance companies.
Bah, insurance companies never lose man. They’re just gonna crank up rates come policy renewal time and earn a commission/profit on top of the increased rates.
I don’t know, but I was being sarcastic. Fuck ‘em.
Fuck 'em. Lol
Yeah, dude doesn’t understand that old “I’ll put out the fire but you have to sell me your house for $5,000” trick
Well it turns out a brand new fire engine is nearly 500k, plus equipment, firefighters, training.
The price might be more than one is willing to pay!
People need to realize the rich are not smart. And when they fuck things up, we all suffer.
It’s nice to see them fuck around and find out, but we cannot afford to keep watching them find out on climate change. They’re going to get us all killed.
People need to realize the rich are not smart.
Just look at Phony Stark.
Crazy thing is that there are people who genuinely think he is very smart, because he uses bots on social media to promote that image and it works as we can see.
Is it bad I kind of want to con these rich fucks out of some of their money so I can afford to move away from this greed prison country?
No not at all, they don’t deserve more money than us.
I know! But I always bog myself down with moralistic, philosophical questions like “is that how they got started?” and “does that make me as loathsome as them?”
Questions they I doubt they ever felt the weight of.
Most of them got started with generational wealth. Be careful though. The only crime the rich people get in trouble for is stealing from other rich people.
Just send them official looking bills with obtuse language describing the billed work. Many will just pay them without looking further into things. I once did a landscaping delivery to some nouveau riche looking a-hole who bragged about being so busy and rich, that he just payed whatever bills came in. He also wasn’t that rich, but liked to look the part. Probably swimming in debt right now.
Wait this is unironic? Like not trying to troll the ancaps or something? I’d troll it on r/austrian_economics if I wasn’t banned.
Have you tried being a faith healer for the rich?
You need to know how to launder money for that. A lot of those psychic/faith healer types the rich use are just laundering money for them.
So you’re saying I need to be an Asian Nail Salon faith healer?
Congratulations! After processing your payment of $1392.63, we have put out the fire on your house.
Since everything else around you is still burning, we will require another $1392.63 to come out again.
Wouldn’t the neighbours house already being on fire be considered a pre existing condition?
Welcome to the days before professional police and fire. Where only the wealthy could afford to pay for their homes to be protected or crimes against them to be pursued. The poor had to hope for community to come to their aid.
The police have always acted mostly for the benefit of the rich. American police started out as slave catchers for wealthy plantation owners.
All true. They protect wealth.
Calling it: Trump will privatize those services to ensure rich people never have to watch their houses burn because the firefighters were busy saving poors
The poor will just get substandard service and usage fees vs the rich who will get it included in their insurance.
those poor rich people! gasp!
I feel really bad for the lungs of all the Angelinos who don’t deserve this, but I can’t say I haven’t enjoyed the fact that this fire is centered around an area where a bunch of rich fucks have their mansions.
Don’t worry, they’re insured
Apparently not for enough or he wouldn’t have posted that.
Losing your shit sucks, even if you do get a payout
I feel the same.
Posts like these are why the next regime in both LA and California will be more conservative, even if that just means centrist.
The way these fires have unfolded indicate a pretty big failure of state and local government. It’s not the first time both entities have been caught unprepared for stuff like this.
Instead of having an honest conversation, the liberal world is just going “Drunpf bad”. Eventually most people are just gonna vote for someone who promises to fix things.
exactly. while the supposed left incarnates betrayal, disapointment and innaction, the right grows and fulfils its fascist promises.
Ancient Rome had privatized fire department. Caesar’s friend Crassus got the job and used it to extort people to sell their homes in a neighborhood when a fire broke out. As a result he became one of the richest people in history. He was also killed by the Persians who poured liquid gold (or silver, depending on source) on his decapitated head and sent it back to Rome.
America’s original firefighters were private industry as well. They were known to loot peoples property and allow fires to spread in order to charge more for putting out multiple buildings. So it sounds like we have about 2000 years of history telling us private firefighters aren’t a great idea.
Without any irony at all these people simultaneously demand deregulation of all industries
Also, the fires that broke out were mostly ones he started himself.
Fake news, everyone knows the Christians started all those fires.
He was also killed by the Persians who poured liquid gold (or silver, depending on source) on his decapitated head and sent it back to Rome.
we should bring that back. the persians were onto something here.
Best I can do is liquid poo
sold
On an unrelated note, “crass” basically means fat
Interestingly “krass” and “fett” are both informal/ slang in German for something incredible
Crasse in frensh has a “really bad”/cheap&bad connotation.
Remember… these are the oh-so-smart Richie Riches that gets to be the de facto ruling elites in our capitalism-addled society.
