        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”.)

    This is indistinguishable from satire for me. I honestly can’t tell if it is or isn’t.

    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.

      Many news sources are reporting that it is a real tweet.

      huffpo article

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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 wish conservatism wasn’t the only different perspective being promoted. It’s the gateway to all the bullshit happening everywhere.

      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.

      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.

      Not really sure what they are getting on here.

      Since when laughing at people losing their homes is a now a political thing, exactly?
