Our fire adjusters have deemed your house not eligible for firefighting services. Your next bill is due a week from today. Thank you for choosing us.
For $10 million I will grab a hose and come to your house.

In trying times when the free market fails it is time for CORRUPTION to shine!
Contact the chief of FD privately with your offer and see what can be arranged.
Your house being on fire is a preexisting condition, go fuck yourself
Doesn’t want to pay taxes that would help everyone…but will pay private firefighters to save himself? 🤔
Man if only we had a system where everyone pays a fair share to fund public services
That he is named Wasserman is a bitter irony.
God I fucking love watching rich people learn even money has limits to its usefulness in the face of emergencies borne of hubris
It’s almost like you should’ve sacrificed a portion of your enormous wealth to support the systems and programs that would’ve prevented this for everyone. This exact attitude is what gets us here in the first place.
Crassus is giggling in his grave
Dear Quebec,
Send the invoice to this fucker
This was the norm for a long time in London after the great fire. If your house didn’t have the proper fire mark, some private firefighting companies hired by the insurance provides wouldn’t put the fire out.
Wasserman needs some water, man.
Try calling citizens united I’m sure they will send some people right over
Thoughts and prayer$
He sure does have a lot of trouble with fire for a guy called “Water Man”.
I genuinely thought this was a parody tweet.
He deleted his account, wonder why
In the 2018 Malibu fire my boss had a private fire crew protecting their house. Back then it ran I think about 30k a day, I can only imagine the cost in this situation.
This man made his money in real estate buying repossessed homes after the 2008 financial crash, so with all due respect, fuck right off
I’m not sure I follow, can someone explain?
He has since deleted his whole Twitter account!
For the people not seeing the issue.
If protective services are privatized enough, then only the worst will work for the public sector.
Look at cops. The best people are hired away to the private sector and what we get left with is the people who are doing it for the power.
Interesting how rich people say they “Will pay any amount” when shit hits the fan, but when asked to pay their fair share, they literally promote and put in office a borderline fascist with no regard for the public good.
Funny thing is there are insurance companies that provide private firefighters. All they do is set defensive space, set up sprinkler systems(usually fail if there’s no good backing) or generator set up. Take pictures before and leave till after the fire passes. Come back and take pictures of aftermath to confirm insurance coverage.
Haha Fuck you Keith Whateverman
