  • although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone

    That’s why they don’t care.

    Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

    Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

    And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

    At which point, they’ll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.



  • The last two paragraphs are tangentially about the fire, and don’t engage with the anger at all - which was the subject of the headline.

    It’s like I was watching a news segment where they stop reporting and cut to a talking head who started analyzing political responses to the fire.

    How much Chinese companies are donating to relief efforts and the political parallels of an election being delayed (covid before, the fire now) are tangentially related, but in my opinion, that’s no longer focused on “Anger swelling in Hong Kong over deadliest fire in more than 70 years”.
