Fun fact: this is how fire fighters used to be.
There’d be fire markers on the outer walls to indicate which fire protection company covered that building and whichever firefighter turned up would bill that fire protection company who’d then bill the customer/customer’s insurance company.
Edit: typo.
Fact: Yes.
Fun: Not so much.
There is a scene in gangs of new york that pretty accurately shows how some fire fighters worked back then.
This is indistinguishable from satire for me. I honestly can’t tell if it is or isn’t.
It ain’t going to get any easier either.
Eat the rich
But first, roast the rich!
For as much as authoritarians and the GOP voters hate California, a lot of them live there. Just another facet of their “Rules for thee” lifestyle.
Think of Trump, a billionaire New York real estate mogul, who’s made his career off the support of people who… hate rich city-dwellimg developers.
Some of them are leaving - and making a big spectacle of it and using their departure to feed into the lie that “EvErYoNe iS LeAviNg CaLiFoRniA!!1!”
But I wish more of the really obnoxious ones would leave. The reasonable Republicans/moderate conservatives? I have no problem with them staying and promoting a different perspective. That’s good for the state. But the reactionary hard-core cult members can fuck right off.
I have no problem with them staying and promoting a different perspective.
I wish conservatism wasn’t the only different perspective being promoted. It’s the gateway to all the bullshit happening everywhere.
California has private firefighters. This is not a joke, they really do.
Where is capitalism when you need it?
“what do you mean money cant solve side effects of climate crisis”
Fake, but funny.
Many news sources are reporting that it is a real tweet.
Apparently the tweet has been deleted. If its fake its bamboozled dozens of reputable news outlets. Looks real to me.
I had called fake because that account doesn’t even exist, but according to that article (thanks for the link), the entire account was deleted as well.
Thinking big and thinking ahead are woke, I want to throw money at any problem instead.
Hasn’t California had super majority democratic rule for like ten years straight? Why is op complaining on Trump supporter?
Trump withholds aid from states he didn’t win, or governor’s he doesn’t like. Regressive climate policy in general, remember when he said Cali should rake the forest. X poster wasn’t satire, and vocally supports a regime that will abandon him to flames

Looks like they have had trifecta (3/3) and two thirds control for last 33 years… But sure 4 years of Trump did this.
