downpunxx"So the billionaires’ families are gonna get billed for all of this like the time my family got billed for my ambulance ride, right? Right?"
What really makes me angry is that media is full of some millionaires drowning in a rattle can steered with a 30$ Logitech controller while there are 100s of people drowning in the Mediterranean Sea every week because they are illegally pushed back by authorities and media is silent about it...
What do you mean, the media is silent about this? There's tons of articles about that exact thing.
There has been a lot of coverage, yes, but media didn't make as much noise... the stories about migrants drowning was soon banned to page 7-13 on local newspapers... while this millionaire drama is all over the media for days now...
That kinda makes sense though, since there was no ongoing rescue/recovery operation to talk about. There's only so many articles you can write about a bunch of people drowning.
Oh, you could write a lot. About the organization that pushed the people back into the water. About the politicians that sanctioned this. About the lives of those people who drowned. About the process of drowning. You can pretty much write a book about this. But no. It's immigrants, that's normal right?
Fair enough, but I would argue that a lot of these things are more general and not necessarily specific to this incident itself, so they are not really breaking news in that sense.
