There are a lot of normal working people living in the area as well. It's not all rich celebs.

True

I said quite heatless comments on this thread yesterday that I'd like to take back following seen further footage it's horrendous to whoever it happens to.

I don't know if I'm too sad for celebrities. With their millions they can rebuild or use one of their other homes. It's the everyday people I'm devastated for. Trump has a huge job on his hands. I hope the celebrities can contribute to the rebuilding of the city and that the government won't just charge massive amount of tax to the everyday working person

I really don't understand the contempt for wealthy people losing their belongings, their homes, their memories... Sounds so hard faced. It's like someone losing everything in this country and being reminded people in other counties have less to lose, so suck it up. The lack of empathy is real and hard to read.

She's a singer, but she's also an actress yeah. She was popular during the 90s, has been in a few movies, has also sang for Disney.

I agree. I think every person's situation being unique has to be seen in its own context. We don't know how extensive the damage is for some of them. For some it may have been their retirement home and that was all their wealth, basically. So yes so and so may or may not have more money, but consider too, these are people who have worked and lived their own lives. It's hard to lose anything you've built. Consider too "the rich" are often in positions where just a bit more pressure can be applied collectively and maybe things can change.. after all people who put down huge chunks of money to put roots someplace is invested in the community. They have to be to have so much of their income invested in that property... especially without insurance . So they're more likely than the average person to say something about the long term issues since it's going to still impact them significantly and it could result in the change needed. I doubt it for a number of reasons, but with God, it's always possible. Anyway, some of these people, for better or worse, are now very tied to what happened in LA out of necessity, so they'll have to recover somehow. If they were carrying a mortgage and uninsured, even temporarily, they're now underwater (the irony..) on those mortgage(s). People with less money or no roots to pick up can leave more easily, I think. It's very hard to do that for people who are much older, have family ties in an area and are already settled... and whether they've sunk 100K or 1M in a home, it's not just restarting their lives but also have to rebuild financially from that point...

Leaked memo reveals LA Mayor Karen Bass demanded her fire department cut
an extra $49 million just ONE WEEK before wildfires broke out



This cut is already on top of $17.6million of cuts in her latest budget.

The extra cuts, requested just days before fires broke out and devastated
swathes of Los Angeles, would have shut down 16 fire stations and crippled the
department's ability to respond to emergencies, sources said.

for donations for her relatives left
homeless by the LA fires.

The actress - one of the A-listers whose
homes were damaged as the wild fire swept
through the city this week - was slammed
by many after she shared a GoFundMe
for her family members on Instagram.

But Moore did not hold back when
replying to those asking her whether
she was contributing funds to her family.]

…lots of people have heard of Mandy Moore, she isn’t someone who is just known in America…she has a long career since the 90’s but has more recently been in one of the most successful TV series, This is Us, which has been nominated for and won multiple awards and ran for 6 seasons…

…to be fair to the wealthy celebrities who have lost their homes in the fire…whenever there is a disaster, they’re some of the first to organise fundraising events and to highlight the help needed to rally help from others…and when they do, they often get criticism for that…oh, there they are in their ivory towers/type thing and how condescending/they have no idea…but with this, they’re experiencing and have every idea of how it feels to lose their homes and so many belongings with personal attachment…and they’re still getting that criticism of…oh, well they can rebuild so much more easily…of course they can, but they’re still feeling a loss…of the ‘regular and everyday people’ who have lost their homes…some will be in a better financial position than others and that’s just the way of it but it doesn’t take away that the loss of a home and memories and much loved possessions etc in it is the loss of a home and memories and memories and much loved possessions in it no matter who the owner or occupant…one of the privileges that the wealthy celebrities have is that they’re in a position going forward to help raise funds for those impacted who don’t have that wealth…

The only things of real value is the life of humans and animals

Living in houses that are the size of warehouses does not make you a good person it makes you the problem with the world in general

Of course I sympathise with the rich but I suppose just as they seem out of touch with everyday people I suppose I can't relate to them that much either most of the times. Whilst the fire was happening, one of them asked if anyone knew of private firefighters that could keep his house safe while the rest burned down. He took down the tweet because he got backlash.

Fundraising is great, I see some celebrities are already doing it. But who is pouring into the fundraisers? The public.


If we shouldn't judge celebrities like Heidi Montag for forcing tears on camera then Meghan and Harry shouldn't be judged for actually helping and pouring into some of their own funds
