I know this much - it's great to see these super-rich and super-useless entertainers lose their homes.

Who was the capitalist dumbass that introduced eucalypts into California ?
Here he is, folks- the capitalist moron responsible;

Sadly, most of these schemes went the way they infamously did for Frank C. Havens. Havens was an Oakland developer who opened a mill and planted eight million eucalyptus trees in a 14-mile-long strip from Berkeley through Oakland. But when he came to sell the timber, it was found that the trees were too young to make suitable wood; the young wood had an irregular grain and it bent, cracked, and shrank when dried. It is true that eucalyptus trees from Australia could make good timber, but those trees were decades or sometimes centuries old. It was soon found that eucalyptus trees would need to be at least 75 or 100 years old for good lumber. The young wood didn’t even make useable fence posts or railroad track ties, both of which decayed rapidly. Havens closed shop.

Eat the rich, Comrade?
Unfortunate that losers often feel as you do way about winners. It's the small mindedness that helped make them losers in the first place.
