This previous city is crammed with sin
It’s going to swallow you in
When you’ve obtained some cash to burn
Take it dwelling immediately
You’ve got obtained three years to pay
However Devil is ready his flip.
Gram Parsons, “Sin Metropolis”
I am not blaming anyone for the Los Angeles wildfires. Sure, the water hydrants ran dry in some burning neighborhoods, however nobody might presumably have envisioned a conflagration as large and catastrophic because the inferno that overwhelmed the LA firefighting infrastructure.
And I am not blaming Mayor Karen Bass for the hearth catastrophe. She had no enterprise traveling to West Africa on a political junket whereas a catastrophe was looming, however Bass did not begin the fires.
For me, the LA wildfire is nationally important as an indication of the vanity and cluelessness of America’s political and media elites. The folks in LA’s elite neighborhoods sneered on the working people in Flyover Nation as they insulated themselves from the true world with chauffered limousines, gated communities, and personal bodyguards.
The glitterati labeled working-class patriots as “white Christian nationalists,” despising them as racists as a result of they apprehensive about crime and our nation’s open southern border.
Hollywood moguls made boring, overlong movies stuffed with woke DEI drivel after which puzzled why film attendance was down.
Film stars donated thousands and thousands of marketing campaign {dollars} to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris although they knew each had been idiots.
Now, the chickens have come dwelling to roost, and the Tinseltown world of the West Coast elites is falling aside.
I really feel sorry for the common Angelinos who misplaced their properties within the wildfires, however I’ve no sympathy for the rich assholes who obtained wealthy underneath Bidenomics and whose cosmos goes up in smoke.
Mayor Karen Bass and her DEI minions are done–uncovered as incompetent dolts. Governor Newsom and Kamala Harris are executed as necessary political figures, having proven no expertise for management. George Clooney and Julia Roberts, sycophantic fundraisers for the Democratic Occasion, are executed as revered film stars.
Many West Coast elitists are nonetheless wealthy, however their wealth will not save them from irrelevance. As Gram Parsons put it, “On the thirty-first ground, a gold-plated door won’t preserve out the Lord’s burning rain.”
