This is all kinds of stupid.

Get this libertarian feverdream bullshit out of here. Your corpofuedalist wetdream is even worse than the things you complain about.

Meme kinda checks out. Starts out as a smart kids and then continues through cognitive decline, probably from steroid use.

The sad thing is that there are people who genuinely think this way

(I'm hoping that you don't genuinely believe this idiocy, OP)

The United States did not have government-run fire departments until around the time of the American Civil War. Prior to this time, private fire brigades competed with one another to be the first to respond to a fire because insurance companies paid brigades to save buildings.[5]

No insurance? No firefighters.

I'll go leave it to the reader to extrapolate how the rest of that hellscape worked.

A race to get there first was one style and even led to departments sending out runners to obstruct the other departments.

The other main style was for only the department corresponding to the fire insurance mark on the building to fight the fire. So even with insurance, departments would often let buildings burn for having the wrong insurance.
