The United States Coast Guard said the “underwater noises” were being investigated. More vessels were expected to arrive on Wednesday to join the extensive search in the North Atlantic.
we continue to allow people to do horrible things and then hide behind the corporate liability wall. The owners of that company have likely pulled all the money out of that company and are fully prepared to bankrupt it and walk away scott free.
Literally risking people’s lives, cutting corners, and not having a lock tight rescue plan should be criminal as fuck… but here we are. People experiencing actual torturous hell, tax payers footing the bill for an all out search, and the owners walking away with boat loads of money.
These people have already consumed more resources than most people would in 20 lifetimes of reasonable consumption. They are one of the owners of the capitalist exploitation machine.
I know they have people tripping over themselves to save them from their own extreme tourism misadventure because money, but for me at least, it’s depressing as fuck to watch so many regular people, the peasants our global oligarchs oppress, sitting on the edge of their seat rooting for them while not giving a shit about the millions dying of exposure and police harassment in tent cities for the crime of not being good enough capitalists.
Sure, save them if feasable, but I wish the people the billionaires exploited and tossed aside that correctly lose hope and wait under a bridge to die for lack of options got even a tiny fraction of this attention, let alone assistance. Some peasants literally wish death on those struggling people for hurting their property values with their continued existence. If anyone still believes human life has significant intrinsic value, why do their lives not matter at all while we literally coordinate military intervention to save people who signed and acknowledged the fact they were playing a deadly game? We clearly can’t “do both” as we never help the former.
