Local Hawaiians have called upon some of Maui’s resident billionaire class to help them as wildfires devastate areas of the island beyond recognition.
Jeff Bezos, Oprah, and Larry Ellison represent some of the biggest names to have homes on the island paradise along with Clint Eastwood, Steven Tyler, and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mack. Since the outbreak of the devastating fire on Tuesday, which has claimed over 50 lives while leaving hundreds homeless, residents have been openly asking for help. (Video) Lauren Sanchez, the fiancée of Jeff Bezos, who owns a $78 million property on Maui, issued a statement on her social media in which she called the tragedy “heartbreaking”

Stop begging, you idiots. You chose to live there. That’s life. Suck it up and move on.

I don't know, # 2, what kind of fire was that? Was it arson? Who did it? I honestly don't think it was an act of nature. And those people do need help. They've lost everything. Maybe Biden could send a billion over there instead of all the billions to Ukraine.

Don't hold your breath. Actually, DO hold your breath unless you want to start choking on smoke. Oprah can donate a car.

All you little people know that the big fish will just buy your burned out property for next to nothing to enlarge their estates. Ya'll can go live elsewhere, Maui is for the 'In Crowd'...

We'll see who rises to the occasion. Whatever you might think about Bezos, he has resources available to him that could probably help alleviate suffering faster than any boneheaded government effort. Any odds on whether Biden shows his face?

This reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where only one family built a fallout shelter and the sirens went off. The whole neighborhood felt entitled to the shelter of the guy who planned ahead.

Native Hawaiians should just take back their ancestral land and confiscate the properties of the rich; stop begging them for help. Call it a riot or something; that's what they do. The faux president just confiscated a bunch of land somewhere out West. Most of the land that has been confiscated was done so in the name of the native people, but we all know it's about a few people owning the world and bossing everyone around so they can live extremely well while we don't. Greedy, wannabe God pigs.

I was In Lahaina not 2 years ago- destination wedding for my child… I fell in love with Lahaina.. beautiful old city with so much history.. now decimated by fire..
The speed at which the fire traveled was so scary- however it started , there are now thousands of people left with nothing- and many lives lost.
We do know the Rules for Radicals will be used- why act surprised?

I doubt Lauren Sanchez actually owns that property. Jeff Bezos, with all his money - get that eye fixed, owns it. She's just along for the ride and the riches.

Hawaii is run by dems.
Dems live by the "Let George do it," philosophy.
We all saw it when the mayor of the town that lost 27 (and counting) people just drove by a woman's body instead of stopping to even check if she were still alive!
Let George do it was what the men in the car basically said as they drove past her.

When there are fires in any other of the 49 states the cause is always identified (accurately or not) as soon as the talking heads begin to speak. What was the spark? Climate change ain't the spark. If you need to gaslight the masses this is the way to do it. Ignore the missing spark and drone on and on about an impossible contributing factor - that didn't start the fire. Then go on the media as a "native" - in Hawaii natives are people who have visited the island for more than a few days in a row - and beg for money.

These idiots really think these rich people care about the peons? Bezos may have a 78 million dollar property in the area, but you can bet your butt that it's insured for a lot more than that.

When forest fires raged throug the Smoky Mountains, native daughter Dolly Parton's foundation gave $10,000 to each of 900 families who'd lost everything. Let's see if the three leftists listed will do something similar for their neighbors.

Oprah bought large acreage on the Uplands. A fire map showed some fire near he property. Ellison owns nearby Lanai Island.

#2 may be one of the most meanspirited replies I have seen in over 20 years at LCom. LDotters don’t talk that way.

I would think Mr. & Mr. Messiah would be first on the scene, seeing as it’s the Lightbringer’s home state.
