So spot on. MAGA types will whine about the looting by the poor but not the exploitation and looting by the already rich con artists operating under LLCs and INCs.
Every distressing situation is an opportunity for them to exploit and take, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the rich neighbors join in and try to consolidate and buy up lands from the working class because they dont’ want to live among them.
Disasters and emergencies for us equals wealth transfer opportunities for them.
How dare you suggest that capitalistic greed. Will try and profit from the catastrophic effects of a disaster.
This happened to my hometown in FL after a big hurricane hit. Tons of people displaced and rent suddenly skyrocketed. Terrible
It’s not looting when rich corporate types steal – it’s called finding or an investment /s
Capitalists will do what capitalists do. Remember the democrat Pelosi said very clearly this is a capitalist country.
This is what i wished people would have understood before the election.
Maga politicians and corporate people are all about a huge power and MONEY grab. They will take advantage of disasters, exploit them, enable them (remember “No masks!” during Covid), and i daresay even create them.
They are also going to take all our tax money.
It’s going to be a clusterfuck. They are not interested in governing, they are interested in wealth and power beyond their wildest dreams and guess what: that entails all the rest of us suffering.
The equity firms will work with the insurance companies and offer them kickbacks and return for denying damage claims. People with denied claims will have no choice but to relocate and sell just the land for whatever they can get. They probably won’t get as much for the land either because it has to be cleaned up now before new construction can take place. This country feels like one giant game of risk where the wealthy have been playing a long game and now they’re moving to take territory from the working class. They will exploit every disaster that they help create.
They will show poor people stealing hundreds of dollars of things but no one talks about how the wealthy are pocketing millions
It’s coming. It’s definitely coming.
The real looting actually started when people started looting
Yup. But there isn’t anyone ready to do shit about it. The only man that stood up to them is in prison.
They did it in Maui. Same playbook.
It’s not looting if rich people are doing it. Just like it’s only terrorism if rich people get killed.
The billionaire’s america.
Like Oprah in Hawaii
I would hope our CA leaders make a law about that. It would be the right thing to do AND a huge way to counteract the disinformation “Republicans would do better” campaign.
When the looting starts the shooting starts
If the rains return…next up mudslides.
It needs to be stopped in its tracks.
It’s already happening. Prices of homes and rentals in areas like Pasadena and Encino have already increased. Inventory is already low so this is going to be a shit show for many people.
Because the current looters looting are just looting loafs of bread to feed their families.
This explains why there’s videos of arsonists running around. They’re probably being paid a lot by the companies planning this.
The burned areas should be rezoned as multifamily apartment blocks or park lands. Fuck the sprawl.
Uh, yeah, I think what’s going on now is considered “real” looting, by any measure.

Stop opposing building of houses then.
If you actually GAF about high rents and homelessness, push for rezoning of single family housing areas which have burned.
It happened in Hawaii. Hopefully the people in CA can prevent it this time.
Are “working class” neighborhoods getting destroyed?
When the looting starts, so does the . . .
How do Republicans like to finish that? /S
It has already started.

Just build housing Jesus Christ.
Also why excuse looters?
Right? As if a bunch of people getting some free shit from stores actually hurts the mega-corp bottom line AT ALL. Fuck this bullshit. I hate when actual mom and pop places get looted, but fuck it. We created a system of greed, why get upset when we start acting greedy?
