Not all empathy is good. Don’t waste it on people who wouldn’t slow down if they ran you over.
I don’t wanna celebrate deaths, but it is wild to me how much of a story this is compared to, say, the boat full of migrants that the Greek government purposely allowed to die.
Those migrants were simply people seeking a better life. They deserve far more in terms of coverage and rescue efforts than a couple of rich aholes who spent their money on a tourist trap
It wasn’t sympathy for the passengers that made the story interesting to me. It was the absolute shamelessness with which that CEO disregarded safety, fired people who tried to make it safe, cut corners, lied to reporters about “partnering with Boeing” (they debunked it today), and on and on.
The guy was a huge piece of shit, and I hope that his company gets sued into oblivion so that some sort of precedent is set for other companies that try to use international waters for their malfeasance.

In unrelated news, Elon Musk looking for anyone wanting to go to Mars.
I mentally separate SpaceX from the pissbaby these days. Because the people working there are actual fucking geniuses. They are paving the way to make access to space more affordable with re-usability. We need that. Elon can fuck off though.
Unwise. Elon is in charge. All of those actual fucking geniuses are there at his pleasure and may be fired at his whim.
I have sympathy for the son as he (allegedly) did not want to go on the trip but felt that because it was important to his father, he had to go.
They knew what they were getting into too lol
The safety issues were hidden by the CEO who ate shit with them. You see, their real issue was trusting the dumbass who continually railed against safety regulations publicly. Who could blame them? Fuck safety, it’s for nerds
I would argue that having empathy for another human is what sets me apart from them. but i understand your disdain for them.
