Calafornian Bushfires

This morning on Sunrise, they featured a Hollywood reporter who reported on the Californian bushfires. It seemed all she was concerned about, and the media on the whole in a broader sense, was the risks to these celebrity homes and their material possessions. What’s the significance of this in such a state of desperation?

Yes, let’s be concerned about the celebrities and the “normal” people –anyone being affected by these fires. But, their homes and materials? What’s so special about theirs compared to Joe Bloggs house full of treasures? I think it’s ridiculous to convey such inequity. It’s treating the “standard” citizen as second rate.

Of course it would be devastating to lose ones home and things and I certainly think it’s a matter of concern but my annoyance comes from the onus on the celebs.

Lets blur the boundaries, we all shit the same.
