    Maybe ignorant, idk. But it baffles me that 5 people doing something stupid in international water get a massive rescue yet a boat trying to find a place to dock with hundreds of people does not.

    Though by know i have heard mixed info that there where some rescue attempts but also that some captain supposedly got fines for trying to rescue.

      My point of view is the billionaires were doing something stupid and that’s the point. People love that. That’s why there is so much media coverage. And there are so many bad things happening right now, why do people have to pick one and then hey, why don’t you look at this!??! It’s not that it’s not bad; it’s a bad thing that needs attention, and that’s I accepted. But it’s not as fun as looking at billionaires doing something stupid, right?

        Your argument for an immoral mismanaging of funds by the world politics is it generates clicks?

        The media is ti blame to frame it as a funny thing rather then a display of classcism showing that if you are rich enough armyswill try to rescue you no matter what you did.

        We can laugh about it but we are just the internet and humor is a way to cope.
