    I represented a guy that served on a rural fire department. He loved to hit the lights and sirens and speed to the fire, so he’d go out in the country, set fires, and then go back to town and conveniently be near the fire barn when the 911 calls came in. Finally got busted. 

    apparently firefighters lighting fires is way more common than you'd think.

    I’m pessimistic about the growing movement to sell federal land to states if not private industry. Like @Kyrie Eleison stated many regions don’t have much federal land so this is a non issue for them. Second this is an idea that may only need to succeed once then the land would be privatized forever.

    ive seen a few billionaires (wanna be) types argue that the US is sitting on trillions of dollars of land value that could be sold to pay off the national debt. Maybe there’s partial accuracy in that, but pawning your assets is a big step in eventual downfalls of organizations.

    Since we had long term fiscal stability in the late 90s, we've cut taxes on billionaires 3x (and about to be 4x), that, along with getting into land wars in Asia, has ballooned the debt up to where it is. The Republican solution to that is to sell trillions of dollars of federal land, most of which will be bought up by billionaires, making them even richer and the rest of us poorer.

     

    Just another reminder that Republican policy makers fucking hate you.
