WHY ARE PEOPLE SO QUICK TO ASSUME EVERYONE IN SO CAL IS RICH?
Bakugan shopping StoreI ready sight questions and comments most ground California’s blast victims are effort more support than New metropolis did after Katrina. Everyone’s salutation is because Californians are rich. Anyone added conceive this is a undignified assumption?
Bigotry?
Prejudice?
Some people like to put labels on people and try and pretend that everyone in California is rich and elitist. We have the same problem here in Massachusetts. Evidently, the more educated and liberal a state is, the more people are prone to labelize it.
No. But if you have any other ideas, enlighten everyone.
i agree with YA RLY….
So Cal, So Cal, So Cal its on fire, they don’t need no water let the motefu, burn, burn mothefu, burn
no do you?
I’ve lived in Southern California for 51 years and I know that’s a ridiculous assumption. People who assume that everyone here is rich has never been here. For one thing putting out fires and cleaning up after a hurricane are two completely differnt things. There really isnt any point in talking to people that dont know what they’re talking about. Folks like you and I can dispute their theory that California is getting more help than the people after Katrina.
Just because the people here didn’t fire a gun into the stadium,rape a few women,get into fights and defecate on the floor doesn’t mean there rich.
Of course it’s ridiculous!
just plain ignorance I assume.
Fires didn’t destroy roads and cover airports etc. so access for men and material is easier. California also has a lot more resources at its disposal. Fema and other federal departments have learned lessons from Katrina and know the need to respond faster or Dubya will get angry and give funding to others.
I live in CA and Im in a middle class neighborhood. Im sick of everyone thinking the fire victims are rich. We’re paying everything at a higher price: homes, gas, taxes, etc. Also probably half or most of the fire victims are middle class too.
Compared to New Orleans and Louisiana in general, you betcha Californians are richer. It’s also quite obvious that the state of California is far better prepared to deal with disasters than Louisiana. It would also seem that FEMA learned a few lessons from Katrina and is doing a bit better this time.
Of course, it is a ridiculous assumption to assume *everyone* in SoCal is rich…but you DID notice that most of the homes being burned down (and the neighborhoods they are in) do not resemble the Ninth Ward in even a small way? Right?
The 200 homes burned in Fallbrook have an average value of well over $300,000. The people in that area cannot be comapared to the folks in New Orleans in any way, shape, or form. And, oh yeah, the vast majority of Californians do have the insurance to cover their property losses.
All that said, you can’t compare these disasters…Katrina wrought far greater devastation over a much wider area than the California fires.
BECAUSE THE "BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE" THERE GET MEDIA ATTENTION ON A DAILY BASIS.
If all you hear about is million dollar plus homes and affluent lifestyles you assume everyone there is like that.
Not everyone in CA is rich but CA is a rich state. More so than Louisiana. CA contributes a great deal to the US and the world from an economic standpoint and it would behoove any state official not to send immediate help to make sure commerce remains intact.
