Remember about a year and a half ago when no expense or resource was spared to try to rescue a billionaire with a deathwish from the bottom of the Atlantic while AT THE VERY SAME TIME over 500 refugees that could have been saved, who were still at the surface, were left to drown off the coast of Greece.

The ship had been in distress almost two days before it sank, but help didn’t come until it was too late. How many might have been rescued with one-tenth the resources that were rushed to save the five billionaires and millionaires on the Titan?

This isnt a healthcare problem. This is a global crony market capitalist problem.

This is a class ~~warfare~~ occupation problem.

Fuck valuing human life on the basis of ego score.

I’m sure the navy doesn’t have any ships in that area with nothing better to do.
