The Palisades' Zoned-Out Rich Don't Deserve This
from LA Fires Emergency Podcast | The Tim Dillon Show #426 · #426
5 min
A long riff arguing that despite being annoying, drugged-out, hypocritical, and cosplaying Yellowstone ranchers, the working-rich residents of the Palisades and their memories in those homes didn't deserve to lose everything.
- Tim defends the wealthy Palisades residents as not deserving the fires despite being annoying and hypocritical.
- The Palisades is just an outdoor mall where white people sit in ironic cowboy hats pretending they're in Yellowstone.
- Yes they're annoying—tweeting Black Lives Matter from mansions—but they still didn't deserve to lose everything.
- The Palisades represents working rich, not old money, filled with TV producers living in $8-9 million houses.
- Palisades residents are divorcées checking on each other, licking their wounds in Santa Monica—they don't deserve this.
- At the Parker in Palm Springs, displaced Palisades women complained about room size while their kids get dumber.
- Fundamentalist Christians blaming the fires on gays are wrong—God wouldn't burn just one of their six homes.
- When regular people make money, they do exactly what Palisades residents do: buy the dream of the outdoor mall.
- The entire point of America is living in the Pacific Palisades with an outdoor mall, even though most houses can't see the Pacific.
