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?"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Is there really? My heavens.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

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.

What you need are some beautiful rakes.

He should just douse the fire with bootstraps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Well think of the shareholders. This is gonna tank some insurance companies.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Wouldn't the neighbours house already being on fire be considered a pre existing condition?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The police have always acted mostly for the benefit of the rich. American police started out as slave catchers for wealthy plantation owners.
