Unfortunately, these migrant ships that sink are not exactly unique. There’s at least a handful that go down every year. As someone else pointed out that this is pretty much a first of its kind disaster. Tourists dying visiting the Titanic. Before this became news I had no idea that this was even something people do… then again I’m not a millionaire with a disposable 250k.
Migrant boat sinking with hundreds on board - tragic? Yes. Is this something new that happens? Unfortunately no.
Well, perhaps other billionaires will see how these folks have been treated, and decide that they'd rather be remembered for doing something great for society, rather than pursuing individual/deadly hobbies.
Don't hold your breath, lol. Billionaires aren't tripping over each other trying to save everyone else.
You don't become a billionaire without being cool with exploiting people. Modern society rewards antisocial behavior.
So tired to have that sub story popping up in all my feed...
