You see, the trick to not having leopards eat your face is in fact to intentionally starve them, and then brag about it publically!

Oh how the turntables…

9:36pm on Tuesday. Depending on where the house was there are some problems that can’t be solved with money.

That fire tore through Pacific Palisades. Aftermath looked like Lahaina. Literally no stopping it.

Just wait until it is about a total war economy, and that their kids and grandkids have to go fight drones.

It will be too scary to repost at, for sure.

I'm all for schadenfreude, but this isn't a logical inconsistency - he is demonstrating his money going to private industry rather than public services. Or at least, his desire to do so.

Usually private fire brigades ask a subscription to be ready or they are permanently employed to be on location on factory terrains for example. Turns out haggling over the price at the moment itself or fighting in court over the costs and damages afterwards doesn't work so great.

Oh no doubt. He's expecting a pre-established public service. But looking to hire a private service and not wanting to pay taxes for a public service is at least more principled than most Republicans today.
