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!

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

Upvote for wankpanzer. That's gold

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

Unfortunately, if his house does burn down, he's just going to blame public services for their failure to protect his home, and then claim that privatized fire services would have been better.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The irony may be lost in him, but if he had advocated for his neighbors to have the resources they needed to prevent their house from burning, the imminent risk he's now facing to his house would not be a threat. The individualistic mindset of fire prevention, disease spread, etc is so flawed. The best way to protect yourself is to make sure your neighbors are protected, and for them to do the same to you.

Without a hint of irony that those privatized fire services did not save his home anyway.

(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)

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

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 day ago

Well, he’s a founding member and CEO of a company that is basically a corporate landlord and specifically profits off of car culture (apartment buildings and self-storage.) So he’s a leech on the working class, moreso than the typical member of the capital class.
