I am sorry but i absolutely refuse to follow live updates or take any interest in what happens to three #Billionaire tourists or whatever on a luxury thrill-seeking, super-expensive, super-unnecessary fun thing, when over 500 people (including many children) are feared dead after #Tragedy in Mediterranean and we never had live coverage or frontpage news on it. (And yes of course this is sad too but the difference in concern is just so wrong)

A. A good start.

@pvonhellermannn exactly! Where is the international rescue effort for the poor souls in the med or the channel. Far more of them and they are not putting their lives at risk for tourism.

@pvonhellermannn well in 100 years someone will travel down to see the wreck of the sub so they will be famous. Assuming any of us are still around. Seriously anyone doing research or spending money on crap that is NOT combating climate change should just fuck off and die already.

@pvonhellermannn Well said. I feel much the same about those who die in Everest each year. Also adventure tourism beyond reasonable reach of any rescue. So sorry but assuming you knew the risk.

@lauxmyth yes! @FrankFrank shared this about #Everest in response to my post. That queue is quite a picture. The while thing is crazy and horrible

@pvonhellermannn @FrankFrank Thanks for the link. This is not news nor should it be news to anybody who has seen this happening over the decades. I see getting worse as the world seems to be making more ultra-rich.

Agreed, although I think I have far less empathy than you. I don't care if any billionaire dies. Each could have given away all but $999m to save the lives of those in poverty, starving and without clean water, health care, education...
