There you go again, qualifying their personhood.

I'm not saying anyone should feel bad for them, but like I've said, the merciless mocking that's been going on this week is in poor taste.

These people all have families, presumably have friends. Now their loved ones have to try to grieve in a sea of media attention and playground insults. It's indecent.

I'm not qualifying their personhood, I'm just not wringing my hands over how it's so so sad that they died

Nah, at least to me it isn't a matter of wealth at all. Every single inch of this submersible looked like pure sketch, there were so many massive red flags and anyone with an ounce of sense would have been right to veer a hundred miles away from.

It's hard to feel sympathetic for the fools that paid to be on the damn thing when it was smelling of death before it hit the water.
