This is some Los Angeles Trump supporter LMAO.

He also doesn’t want to pay property taxes, and for what little it’s worth, he drives a cybertruck/wankpanzer.

Name any price eh? Someone is going to learn very quickly, why public services exist.

(supposed to be Crassus according to wikipedia, who was a roman that was infamous for, among other things, having a private fire brigade that would take financial advantage of people whose homes were burning)

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.

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.

"Why isn't throwing money at the fire making it stop????"

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.

Not really Antiwork but I do like seeing ancaps become homeless so

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.

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.

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?

from another billionaire experiencing the "hung" part of "hung by his own petard" and ...

he is the finance chair of the Los Angeles Police Foundation as well as a Reserve LAPD police officer.

this sounds like some libertarian ass shit

He should just douse the fire with bootstraps.

We don't need no water let the mother fucker burn

Burn motherfucker, burn

Just here to point out the irony that this guy is called "Waterman" (in German, though one 'n' was dropped somewhere)

Remember... these are the oh-so-smart Richie Riches that gets to be the de facto ruling elites in our capitalism-addled society.

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.

If it's a legitimate fire the House has ways to shut it down.

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.

those poor rich people! gasp!

Lol

Don’t wanna be that person, I don’t think it’s okay to make fun of someone else’s misery. I can’t speak to the ethics and morality of this tweet dude, but not everyone who’s rich is an immoral or unethical person, and not everyone who’s working class has morals or ethics. People should aim to do better for each other. Maybe I am just naive to want something like that.

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.

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!
