/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Almost like they have a fire problem, huh? Man, what is with the government not wanting your house to burst into flames and set the neighborhood on fire. Oh wait, I forgot. The government was elected by people much smarter than you (IE just about anyone) specifically to combat these problems *Because They Keep Fucking Happening!* The government is off base on a lot of things. Like, why are 40% of the people in prison right now drug offenders? What business do they have telling me what I can do with my body when nasty shit like alcohol and tobacco is legal anyway? But shit like fire sprinklers in Calfornia? That's a fucking no-brainer.

Fuck son, look at those poor fucks in Paradise. I live near there and people have known for decades that it was a fucking firetrap. It is as red as a baboon ass up there though. The place went to Trump by a wide margin. Super conservative. They don't even have a sewer system up there because they are so anti-government regulation. Rather stick their shit in a tank in their back yard than have Uncle Sam get a piece of it. When they passed a few ordinances there about 15 years back requiring fire safety improvements be made to all new homes built people went ape shit about it. Any talk of requiring existing homes be upgraded was shouted down. The road system up there is also a joke. Most roads are narrow two-lane deals with no shoulder, let alone sidewalks. People got trapped and died in their cars because the roads were choked. They refused to spend the money on the infrastructure.

I'm not saying people in Maine need to install fire sprinklers, I'm just saying that, yeah, in California, it's a good fucking idea. I'm not saying people living in Calfornia need full fucking basements but if you live in tornado alley its a good idea, right? Saying it is dumb that they require them in some areas of California just shows how much of an idiot you are.
