Do you find it impossible to feel sorry for the people of Malibu because they lost their homes to a wildfire?

Question

The majority of people that live in Malibu are upper class and make more money than 98% of Americans, not to mention most of them are celebrities. I find it impossible to feel sorry for any celebrity that lost their. They can afford to rebuild even if their insurance company stiffs them.

At a time when the economy is terrible, crime is up, the country is at war, families are having their houses foreclosed on and our president has shredded the constitution why should anyone feel sorry for the celebrities in Malibu?

Answer 1

I feel sorry for them...
that is, if this house built of wood weren't in the same place where one burned down only a few years ago... and a few years before that... and a few years before that.

I hope they have the sense to make the houses out of concrete, which doesn't burn.

Answer 2

I honestly felt the same way kinda when I first heard but that just might be out of pure jealousy because they do have alot of money. But in all reality they've worked hard to get where they have, not that other people don't , but it is a home no matter who you are and I feel very sad for them. It's not just the home they lose it's memories, and everything else. Very devastating, and very emotional. Some things you just can't replace.

Answer 3

I want to thank you. You have given me a perfect example of reverse elitism with your question. But, in your spewing hatred of the rich and saying that their insurance will cover re-building you neglect one fact. The cost to the insurance companies will be passed on to other rate payers! People who don't earn $100K or more a year, but own their own modest homes. Perhaps, in your zeal to get demographic data to support your position of "bash the rich", you forgot that it will be other people who will be affected as well. Folks like the tradesmen who performed maintenance on those now-destroyed homes or worked in those homes in other capacities. They are now out of work or have suffered a considerable loss of clientele and revenue.
My father worked hard all of his life. So did I. Neither of us ever worked for a poor man.

Doesn't matter if they are celebrities or not, or upper or middle class, that's not the main subject here, it's the fact that this is something that happens quite often in that area, do this people have their brain "out of order" that they are still living in the same place????........HELLO!!!!!
