This might sound insensitive but if you own a house in California, which millions of people in the US and around the world would give a leg to afford to be a homeowner in, you're probably well off and I'm not sure why we would lose sleep over these fires.
What’s the argument here exactly? Wealthy people’s misfortune isn’t worthy of our attention? Should the US cease reporting on itself as it is a wealth nation and a much better state than many others?
Who is this “we”? The rest of the world? I don’t think the rest of the world is being asked by America to care. It is Americans caring about Americans or Californians caring for Californians at the very least.
At the end of the day, having your house burned to the ground, having to escape a deadly fire, have you seen everyone go a bit mad and crazy, fearing for your life? These people can be the richest people in the world, and I’d think it’s inhuman not to sympathize with them somewhat. It is a situation every person could find potentially life-destroying and traumatic.
