There are private fire departments. They are owned by companies that own industrial facilities with high fire risk, that need immediate response, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and and factories.

But you're right that there aren't private fire companies to serve anyone on demand. There are no manned fire trucks in LA waiting for a high enough bidder to respond to the fire.

The headline credits the car for the agression. The car didn't do it, the driver did.

the word you're looking for is plurality.

Majority means over 50%.

The settling of the "new world" is one of the few times in history that intentional spelling reforms actually took.

Noah Webster published a dictionary with his preferred spellings, and because those dictionaries that disagreed were an ocean away, we spell things with less vowels and also we sometimes put our E's and R's in a different order.

From the previous times details about the typhoon were posted to try and get the devs to add the plane.

Not very effective.

For the rich to get the message you have to hit them where it hurts, in their wallets, their balance sheets, their portfolios, or their vital organs.

Effective peaceful protests do this. If your peaceful protest doesn't make a businesses have a loss it will be ineffective.

so what will this new party do to be successful that the greens, libritarians, and democratic socialist parties were unable or unwilling to do?

There have been other parties on the ballots, and they always do poorly. How can we make this an exception?

there are plastic 3D printed guns where the barrel is plastic. Its springs and the firing pin that would need to be metal. When your gun only needs to work for a dozen shots with subsonic ammunition, 3D printed plastic can be fine.

The shizo abe deleter was also was also homemade from weak materials. That's enough when you only intend to use the gun once.

There are real processionally manufactured guns made mostly from plastic like the glock, and there are new strong printable plastics. 3D printed guns are feasible, people make them as a hobby.

look it up if you're interested.

3D printed plastic guns have been a thing for many years now. Not every part is 3D printed, they do require you to source some metal parts to make it work. But the majority of a gun can be created in plastic in a printer.
