Isn't this also an example as to why taking libertarianism to the extreme is a bad idea? Isn't this a really simple lesson in why socialism is good at least to a certain degree? It's all the libs fault really.

The more they make This happened in my home town about 10-15 years ago. They used to get call out bonuses, until they noticed that there was a burning car report every few weeks and always in the same general area out in the middle of nowhere. Then found it was one of the firemen, dumb fucker was setting wrecked cars alight on his land and phoning it in.

Outrail posted:Isn't this exactly the libertarian dream? Yep, and it's inevitably libertarians who get *ahem* burned by such policies. What happens is they go, "Hey, why do I need to pay for my fire coverage? I'm good." Then their shoddy wiring that they never got inspected catches bursts into flames and they go, "Boo hoo hoo. Let me pay for my fire coverage now and put it out," but for some odd reason allowing people to pay for fire coverage when their house is on fire creates a bit of a negative incentive and so they don't go for it.

Random Stranger posted:Yep, and it's inevitably libertarians who get *ahem* burned by such policies. It's actually even better than this, libertarian fire departments would probably be run like the original Roman fire departments. Basically while your home or business is on fire they'd show up and offer to buy it immediately for a tiny amount of money, and you'd have to decide whether you'd rather take this tiny sum or watch your place burn to the ground and have nothing. Then once they owned your property, they'd put out the fire and repair it.

do u know jenny posted:Uh why isn't it animal cruelty for them to let it burn while their cats and dogs are burned alive? I agree. The homeowner should see some sort of punishment for failing to reasonably ensure the welfare of their animal companions. I'm sure that son felt really good for visiting violence upon a firefighter for doing his job, though. The death of his animals was totally the firefighter's fault and not the moocher, skinflint homeowner.

Funny when you think about the GOP claiming that if Roy Moore had won they wouldn't have allowed him to stay in due to ethics issues. Because lets be real those fuckers would have totally let him stick around.
