200+ migrants died on a capsized vessel and the Greek Coast Guard did not help. But yeah, I should really care about these five super rich people.
This is pretty much how I feel. We don't send these kinds of assets after normal people. But we send the navy and scramble everything we can over a handful of billionaires.
How is that the fault of the people who are now in that sub?
It's hard to feel sorry for fabulously wealthy people who use their hoard for personal pleasure, while others die seeking basic needs that could easily be provided if everyone shared.
I do feel bad for the 19 year old that’s in there, though. That’s just so young.
One of the folks in there is the CEO of the submersible company, and I figure he’s having a FAFO moment right now.
That FAFO. FOFA is Food On Face Alan, a guy my wife worked with at Pizza Hut 20 years ago.
Someone died once somewhere and therefore we shouldn't care when other people might also die
Good contribution to the thread
Yeah I'm not really sympathetic to the sheer quantity of resources being thrown at this situation. The same resources could be better applied to so many other unaddressed problems. These (mostly wealthy) people made a risk and are paying for it, why do the rest of us have to pay for it too?
and this right here is why I feel so... uncarring. Okay, I feel sorry for the kid. He didn't make an informed decision. but yeah, the others? They presumably knew the risks.
Yep. These people only have that wealth because so many others have so much less.
