      Unfortunately, if his house does burn down, he’s just going to blame public services for their failure to protect his home, and then claim that privatized fire services would have been better.

        The irony may be lost in him, but if he had advocated for his neighbors to have the resources they needed to prevent their house from burning, the imminent risk he’s now facing to his house would not be a threat. The individualistic mindset of fire prevention, disease spread, etc is so flawed. The best way to protect yourself is to make sure your neighbors are protected, and for them to do the same to you.

        Without a hint of irony that those privatized fire services did not save his home anyway.
