Capitalism's Greed Burns Kern County

The greedy, capitalist swine have struck again, this time in Kern County, California. In just four days, the Borel Fire has ravaged 53,010 acres of our beautiful planet, an area larger than some countries. And what do these capitalist lackeys care about? Money, of course. The fire has caused a pathetic $2.5 million in damages, a number that these scum find more important than the lives of the 2,300 residents who had to evacuate, according to KVPR.

The historic town of Havilah has reportedly been leveled, but the so-called "Kern County Fire Department" can't even confirm that. They're too busy licking the boots of their corporate overlords.

And where is the justice? The cause of the fire is unknown, and these capitalist pigs will likely never be held accountable. In the meantime, California has had to beg for scraps with a federal grant to help recover from the Park Fire, which destroyed a whopping 368,256 acres and displaced 3,500 people.

This is the world that capitalism has built. This is the world that prioritizes profit over people and the planet. We must rise up and fight for a better future, or our world will continue to burn.
