A submersible that vanished in waters off Canada during a tourism expedition to explore the Titanic could have as little as 70 hours of oxygen left, with a British billionaire among those on board.
Sixty people die when Russia bombs a Ukrainian school and it passes by without much reaction. A sub with 4 people who know the risk of what they’re doing and a billionaire thrill seeker goes missing and it’s news to follow hourly.
Do you want my billionaire? I thought it would be a novelty, to show off to my friends, like a houseplant, but it turns out, its kind of just a piece of shit.
While true, his billions aren’t going to be distributed to the poor, a dead billionaires money goes to a dead billionaires family who probably deserves the money even less but feel owed the money even more than he did.
As I said, “there was a lot of coverage of that event back in May”. There have also been untold horrors unleashed on Ukraine since then. War is hell. Russia sucks.
It’s all good. When I was a kid in the '70s, I was living on Okinawa. The bomb people would come to my elementary every year and give a speech about what not to do if we would stumble upon unexploded ordinance. 40 years after WWII. I came to age reading about the awful, and ongoing, horrors of landmines in places like Cambodia. Reading/watching news about what’s going on now in Ukraine is heartbreaking, and I can’t help thinking about the long term impacts that a traumatized population will suffer. And the following years of shit exploding when a field is being plowed or whatever. It is almost too awful to even contemplate. In light of that, I agree with you, a handful of rich assholes going missing in the Atlantic is nothing.

I’m only following to make sure he’s really dead. The world could use less billionaires

The world isn’t going to get his money. Things aren’t suddenly become fair in the world because a billionaire died.

there could be a hefty inheritance tax. you never know
I get where you are coming from, but there was a lot of coverage of that event back in May.
Also, billionaires should not exist.
That makes it worse. The event I was talking about was May of 2022. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61369229

My bad, I misread your post and thought you were talking about the 19 innocent people killed by Russian missiles in April of this year. Sorry, my bad.

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
Because a bombing in a war isn’t unexpected no matter how tragic it is.
Whereas it’s rare that a group of multi-millionaires tries to visit the Titanic in a MacGyver-esque hobby submarine.
