rich people is that they are still people.

Cary elwes is rich enough to you that you doubt his personhood? I have to assume his net worth is seven digits(according to those celebrity net worth sites, $6-8 million. Idk if those are at all accurate, but it feels reasonable for his career). Doctors, lawyers, dentists, accountants, plumbers, contractors, septic tank servicers, and a fuckload of other people are in that range.

That’s a lot of people you’re not sure are people. I get that it was probably not earnest and I’m ruining the joke, but that’s too broad a dehumanization brush for me to find it funny.

6-8 Million isn't considered rich, I'm talking about the Elon Musk "Vacations on the moon" billionaires.

So you arent talking about the specific rich people who did lose houses and their irreplaceable personal posessions in these fires? Your talking about Elon Musk who is completely unrelated to the topic and has lost nothing in the fires for some reason?
