I live in an area with a subscription fire service.

I thought the earlier guy was doing a joke. I knew that those were a thing in the 1800's or something, but even today?

You just get a bill for $3000/hr/apparatus that responds.

That's pretty insane. So basically the firemen and ambulances are too expensive for the average citizen to use, and if you happen to be black, you probably don't want to call the cops either.

Great services.

Ameeerica, fuck yeah!
