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.
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.
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.

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.

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

there could be a hefty inheritance tax. you never know
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.
It’s because it’s related to the Titanic, and for whatever reason that shipwreck has a grip on western psyches. Dunno why but it just is what it is
