Democrats in power: local government supercedes all!!! States rights and loval control!!
Daddy Trump is in office: Federalize property tax rates pwease :)
(Admittedly giving them a lot of credit for knowing how property taxes work. I've been told that the property taxes in Josephine county are much too high "because of the Californians", as evidenced by rent and mortgages being high.)
Maybe for collective help. I would absolutely not ask for firefighters to stop work in one area to come save my doomed house.
It would not even occur to me to ask for that because firefighters should go where they can be most effective, not where desperate people want them to go.
There are private companies you can contract with to protect your property from fires. They are private firefighters. That’s what he was asking for not regular firefighters.
but he wouldn't be a rich guy who wanted to cut taxes/regulations and then asked for private firefighters to come help, so there'd be no joke to be made there.
This literally makes me cringe but we have gotten to a point where the richest people really think they deserve this treatment over everyone else. This is madness
Wonder if someone asks for 2M if he’d sign that contract… that’s less than the equity gained on his home and about 25% of the value… he’s gotta say yes right? Any price? He’s worth around 100M. I bet he’s tryna pay in the 10s of thousands, but doesn’t wanna make someone rich for risking their lives
Their house is gonna burn, their crops are gonna fail, their cows are going to have no water, their river front homes will be washed away. Climate change is coming for the wealthy as well as the rest of us. Maybe they think Musk will wisk them off to Mars.
I'm pretty sure they do on Postmates. Don't forget to be excessively unreasonable and don't you even think of leaving a tip.
You have a rep to maintain, after all.
Maybe they could actually prove themselves useful to society for once, by throwing themselves on the fire. A little personal effort that could go a very long way.
Doesn’t matter rich or poor, they are going through shit just like everyone else, they are losing sentimental possessions just like everyone else. Just because they are rich doesn’t mean they should be treated like shit.
No, the reason they’re getting treated like shit is for expecting special treatment, up to and including not having to lose everything while their neighbors do, because they’re rich.
Poor people, like those in Gaza, have absolutely nothing when their houses are destroyed/parents are killed by US weapons. These people probably have a second home and share portfolios.
Have you considered that we are saving our empathy for the guys and gals who don’t have the resources to go online to solicit firefighters to save their home and only their home, and are more focused on the regular people affected by the fire?
Someone has a lack of empathy during this disaster, and it’s the “I will pay any price for *PRIVATE* firefighters” guy, not the people mocking his selfishness
Sorry, I had to use all my butlers as firewood to heat the house since eggs were so damn expensive. I wish I would've kept a few in cold storage because NOW IT'S TOO HOT 🔥

He was asking his buddies if anyone had a private prison he could leverage.

The night the seas rushed in,
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves.

Get on a clean plate, and we'll carry you around.
Some rich dude, maybe, probably.
Their house is going to burn just like "regular" folks!

Kind of a different thing?
Cook the rich and eat them
