'Isn't socialism grand?' Libs pissed at celebs for protecting their homes from California fires seriously don't get it

Hold onto your hats, folks. There’s a new outrage in town:

How dare they!

More from VICE:

But, of course, some people can afford to opt out of climate chaos. TMZ reported Tuesday that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West paid for private firefighters to protect their $60 million home in Hidden Hills, California, after the couple evacuated the home under mandatory state orders. The firefighters were reportedly successful in saving the home.

The Kardashian-Wests are not the only people who can afford to tap into private wealth to mitigate the most costly damage of climate change-related disasters. Insurance companies such as AIG provide wildfire mitigation services that allow certain clients to reduce risk and save themselves in the event of a worst-case fire scenario.

AIG’s Private Client Group’s Wildfire Protection Unit, for instance, is made up of AIG employees who are certified through state or local authorities. In addition to protecting homes with flame retardants, these AIG employees respond to fires and map homes in real time as wildfires approach.

According to NBC, members of AIG’s Risk Management and Loss Prevention policy group, who qualify for Wildfire Protection Unit services, occupy 42 percent of the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans.

Clearly this is all evidence that capitalism sucks.

Wow, great argument. Very compelling. Except no.

Real capitalism actually works pretty well. Real socialism … not so much. But the latter is what most Californians are getting thanks to their government’s garbage policies.

Oh, no doubt.

Keep pushing socialist policies, and this is what you’ll end up with.

They haven’t so far … why start now?
