I don't care how much you pay in taxes. If you calculated what percentage of your actual income went to trying to save people (specifically in this instance) the number would be infinitesimal. And you better believe that if this incident is found to be the result of corporate negligence there will be lawsuits and more.

The fact that people turn legitimate anger and frustration from class warfare into hatred and indifference toward the suffering of fellow human beings is fucking disgusting. And I guarantee if you were in their boat and needed rescuing you'd spit in the direction of everyone holding their hands out for you to pay them to save you

indifference toward the suffering of fellow human beings

Sine qua non for being a billionaire

I am certainly in agreement that billionaires are unhealthy for society and have no reason to exist. Their wealth should be redistributed. But I will not let my ideology eclipse my humanity. Nor should anyone.
