Why is everyone talking about the mini sub wreck, but not the 500 migrants wreck?
Because the former invites us to judge others for their privilege… and the latter suggests we should think about our own.

"'It’s not the fault of five men that hundreds of people died off Greek shores. But it is the fault of a system where the class disparities are so huge,' said one senior journalist at a major Pakistani outlet, who asked not to be named. 'When people point that out, it is misunderstood as hatred.'"

The sub was made of carbon fiber. I have a carbon fiber bike and know how strong, flexible, and resilient to stresses it is. I also know that a hairline fracture is enough to destabilize the entire system. I know NOTHING about engineering. The idea that it would be used to withstand that type of pressure is just idiotic to me.

Oh, my god. You think the Titanic sub story isn't harrowing enough? Just imagine if we'd lost THIS billionaire? As opposed to that other billionaire? Whoa. Different world, man.

is a perfect example of confident ignorance. The man has absolutely no relevant experience with deep-sea submersibles, or deep-sea exploration, or the specific custom made submersible used in this dive, or the on-the-ground realities rescue teams were dealing with. Yet he felt qualified to speak on the subject as if he was the leading expert. All in attempt to make political hay, and raise his profile. He was unbelievably wrong about everything.
