    Sixty people die when Russia bombs a Ukrainian school and it passes by without much reaction. A sub with 4 people who know the risk of what they’re doing and a billionaire thrill seeker goes missing and it’s news to follow hourly.

    Can you explain how this classifies as news, @hikarulsi@lemmy.world?

    This is massively insulting to the rest of the people onboard, who are not mentioned in the article from what I saw.

    If only these people didn’t have so much money to waste, they’d be safe. Karma?

      Well, it is like space exploration. There are scientists, engineers and those who dream to be them. It is just part of humanity that we love going on adventures, that’s the same for rich and poor. Only that some are more risk tolerated and some less

          He might fund people who are though (…though I wish we didn’t have a system that would need that…)

            Well anyone ‘could’ fund anything, but this guy has made his fortune on private jets, him dying is almost certainly a good thing for the world. Imagine how much damage.

    What the fuck is going on with some of these comments. You can dislike the wealthy but still feel empathy for human beings (maybe) dying an horrific death.
