Migrants shouldn't go to europe in first place.

I'm out of the loop on this one. What happened?

[–] cnnrduncan@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A bunch of super wealthy dudes (including a bloke who went to space with Mr. Amazon and two members of one of Pakistan's biggest petrochemical families) got into an obvious death trap after signing a waiver that said that there's a decent chance that it'd kill them and now that it's gone missing multiple governments are spending millions of dollars on an attempt to rescue them on the off chance that they're actually still alive because the lives of the wealthy matter more than the lives of normal people.

Since the CEO went down with his s̶h̶i̶p̶ sub, the lawyers will have to get creative.

The passengers signed a waiver to confirm their knowledge that the submarine is an "experimental" vessel "that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma or death."

Problem is the choices are;

A) seeing migrants die en masse makes people feel bad and helpless and weak.

B) Allowing people to say “stupid dumbass billionaires” makes people feel like they are better than some stupid dumbass billionaires.

It was always going to be B. Most times the media just goes where we demand it goes. If you want to complain about why the media is so shit -blame all of us.
