Fire Aftermath
I’m going to sound like such an asshole for saying this.
I feel terrible for the families in SoCal who lost everything. I really do; it’s a horrible tragedy and whoever set the fires needs to die ugly and in public.
But watching CNN’s coverage, their big cry-scene of a person who lost something was a woman pointing to a burnt-out, late-model car, saying “that was my car” and flipping out.
Maybe it’s because I’m from a country where most of the population has dirt floors and no running water and get shit on by fate regularly and spectacularly. But a well-dressed woman in designer glasses pointing at her insured car remains is not the most compelling and tear-jerking footage I can imagine.
