A thread:
A city where fires are prevalent was electing a new fire chief. To keep the Firefighter’s Union on his side, Candidate A promised to hire more firemen
“I have no education, experience or training,” he said. “But this only means I don’t think like other firefighters.”

Instead of fighting fire, Candidate B wanted to PREVENT fires.
He proposed stronger fire codes, more fire hydrants & more fire inspectors. He wanted to teach fire safety & use tax money to put a fire extinguisher in every home.
Candidate A won with 51%

The chief’s first action was to rescind all fire inspections.
He hired more firefighters but said that sprinklers, extinguishers & fire codes “should be up to the individual” because “the government shouldnt be able to tell us what to do with our property.”
People loved it.

With no fire code, or inspections it’s cheap to build. Home constructions rose. Real estate booms bc property taxes were low. Businesses moved in & the unemployment rate went down.

But a funny thing happened:
And whenever there was a fire, firefighters were there to put it out.
But a funny thing happened:
There were MORE FIRES. because they were no longer focused on prevention, every spark became a flame. The firefighters eventually put them all out but after a while, people stopped calling the fire dept because they were afraid of losing their homes to water damage.
When the next election came around, Candidate B ran again. During the debate, Candidate A explains touted how He grew the economy and business.
Candidate B asks A why he hasn’t focused on fire prevention, noting how people were afraid when firefighters showed up.

“My fire dept has been 100% successful at putting out fires.”,” explains Candidate A. “It’s this anti-firefighter rhetoric that is causing all the fires!”
“What’s the difference between Esther damage & fire damage?” asked Candidate B “I thought the purpose was to save homes?”

“Do you hear that?” says Candidate A. “My opponent hates firefighters! He wants to abolish the fire dept.”
“Or...” said Candidate B:
“Maybe I just want to abolish fires.”
