    I’m no fan of billionaires, but at the end of the day these are human lives, and this is a pretty unique and interesting situation that a lot of people are understandably interested in and curious about, so will you get the fuck off of your high horse?

    If you want to criticize how we’re not doing enough to help with other emergencies, then go ahead and do that, in fact, I encourage you to do that, spread awareness, try to make a difference. Use this situation as an example of the kinds of resources that are out that that could potentially have been mobilized for other disasters but weren’t, you can even try to make arguments that maybe some of these resources could have been better used for other current situations.

    Just because there are other, greater emergencies, doesn’t make this one any less sad, and it certainly doesn’t this one any less unique and interesting.

      There is no such thing as a good billionaire, they are nothing but parasites in our society. You don’t become a billionaire without a tremendous amount of exploitation. I hope he thought long and hard about how many safety regulations he skipped over while he was stranded. Silver lining, he didn’t hire some poor soul to drive the thing instead.

        Regardless of if they were good or bad people, it’s disturbing that you think human suffering is something to trivialize.

      Didn’t mean to come off pretentious, and I’ve been following this too, it’s just that, kinda hard to feel particularly bad here. Everyone in that ship understood the risk and were only their for enjoyment and because they could afford the $250k ticket.
