City On Fire Puns

We have a “$27.63 fire service charge” every month for our sprinkler system. This seems steep. Anyone else?

We have the means to send helicopters to Lebanon to provide them the relief and assistance they critically need and requested as they don’t have the necessary means to combat this fire; we bought helicopter carriers from France in 2016 after all, so it’s feasible to send them an entire fleet of helicopters if need be, we’re one of the most equipped nations in the region and the biggest Arab state, yet our disgraceful leadership is turning a blind eye. Italy, Cyprus and Greece all sent planes or helicopter to assist in extinguishing the fires as well...

This event is not known outside of Turkey however it was a tragedy and pushed many Turkish atheist organizations under ground. I think more people should hear of it since 37 people died to advance the cause of Atheism in the Middle East. The one location where it needs to be pushed the most. It started with famed Turkish atheist Aziz Nesin, a man who single handily created the basis for the modern Atheism movement in Turkey. Aziz was a curious boy from a young age who was born in the last Islamic Empire on Earth. Like many Turks of the time he was born without a last name and got to choose his own in the 1930s. He settled on Nesin which literally means "what are you?(what am I?)". Over the course of his life and religious education Aziz began to question Islam and became and Atheist. Aziz gave talks about Atheism and argued priests on televesion. He was also the first Turk to translate Salmon Rushdie's famous book The Satanic Verses which greatly angered Turkish Islamists.

In 1993 he decided to hold a panel about Atheism at a music and arts conference in the conservative city of Sivas in south eastern Turkey. The conference was a music and arts conference organized by a religious minority in Turkey called Alevis. Aziz was supposed to speak on Friday the holy day of prayer for Muslims. Majority of the cities Muslim population had ben alerted during their prayers that Aziz was supposed to speak at a conference near by. Once they finished praying they formed a mob and tracked Aziz and his fellow conference guests to his hotel.

Despite the police and national guard interference the mob quickly surrounded the hotel and then set the building on fire. You can see the hotel burning in this video. About 37 people died in the ensuing flames in what be called the Sivas massacre. The majority of the dead were actually artist and musicians and Aziz was able to escape the building just before his death. The secular government of the time ended up arresting and charging 31 members of the crowd with life sentences. Today the more Islamist government does not even acknowledge what happened and the memory of the events is remembered only by personal gatherings.

So I bought a house that should be paid off in 15 years. If I rent it out, it will net me about $1500 a month in rental income. If I move to a lcol city or country, will this be enough to keep me afloat for something like baristafire?
