I wish the world was as enthusiastic about saving hundreds of women and children as it is about saving 5 fucking millionaires or billionaires.

While I agree with the sentiment, doesn't your own article state that immediately after the incident, multiple countries launched a group search and rescue mission which saved a lot of the victims?

The story about the millionaires, at least to me, is less about the fact that they're millionaires, and more about the fact that we have tourist visits to the remains of the Titanic. At this point I don't know who was on that tiny submersible but I'm intrigued with the tech and what could have gone wrong.

the ugly truth is that immigrants drowning isn't news, it's just normal business, that's why they are trying to save the millionaires, and also why firemen send a chopper to rescue a cow stuck in ice while there are others getting chopped up a couple of miles away.

you can have interest in both. the news can't constantly keep people's focus on things that happen every day, people stop caring. also your own article states there was action taken.

I guess I kinda understand your frustration but if you choose to look at everything from that angle you might as well not participate in the news, it will burn you out

It's disgusting, bit that's the fucked up world we live in. Same reason we do corporate bailouts and tax cuts for the rich but can't ensure that every kid has food to eat.

And pass bills removing free school lunches for needy kids

Can't have those damn freeloader kids getting free food, that's socialism. #pro-life :(
