These people spent more than most people will ever save up in their lifetime for a one time ride in a tube. Money that could go to feeding people, planting trees, etc. They had the US Coast Guard and Navy looking for them with helicopters and sonar buoys. One of them was a billionaire who could have done it right like Victor Vascovo, but instead chose to pinch pennies and ride in the Home Depot special.

They cost society massively, they won’t pay shit for inheritance tax, their families will remain wealthier than I can ever dream of being. I make decent money and I drive past houses with river views and hot tubs and pools and boats and all sorts of rich people stuff I know I’ll never have, those people can’t dream of the amount of money these people have. I feel bad for the kid, that’s about it.

Not to mention the fact that they are thrill-seeking at a mass grave where a horrific tragedy occurred. Similar circumstances, too. The first class survivor ratio compared to the “steerage” survivors… Kind of like how we pulled out all the stops for these rich fucks but can’t be bothered by a boat full of refugees. It’s a sign of the times and people have a right to be livid about it.
