California has private firefighters. This is not a joke, they really do.
There is no elite prime plan for climate change, bitch.
just wait
In the end, without some kind of society to support you, all you can do with your wealth is stick it up your ass.
(Like not you zarathustra0, the figurative “you”.)
One understands.
Don’t worry, they’re doing their best to replace society with LLMs.
They seem to have a pretty good stranglehold on it in the mean time, though.
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.
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.
City where I live burned to the ground TWO times so they finally established a fire department in the 1800s
ironically Wasser, of course means water in German … Wasserman will pay any amount… for water
Remember, according to their followers California deserves this for being heathens. Not the flood in NC though, or the hurricane in FL. Those are just flukes, but anyone in CA deserves it according to them. Even this guy.
Eat the rich
We should know this is the way… Mother nature is cooking them for us ffs
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.
I mean I absolutely hate and despise NY despite living there for 26 years. I finally had the opportunity to move away and did but it was a solid 8 years before I could.
I’m sure there are Californians who feel the same.
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.
Where is capitalism when you need it?
Delicious “where is your God now” moment.
I am not really sure capitalism is the problem, rather tech and politics. I mean, do you have any practical alternative to the oil industry and also a handful of skilled politicians that will convince most of the population to consume less than they already do for a few years while we implement this new tech?
The point isn’t the economy, is those which consume it: us, we, me and you.

The solutions have been sitting there for a while. The lack of political support is almost entirely due to oil companies. It’s just capitalism.
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.
Crassus: laughs maniacally
Thinking big and thinking ahead are woke, I want to throw money at any problem instead.
“what do you mean money cant solve side effects of climate crisis”
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.
Current mayor of LA is a Democrat. This post makes no sense
Not really sure what they are getting on here.
Since when laughing at people losing their homes is a now a political thing, exactly?
