A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.
For what we have spent on the search for 5 people we could have re-homed all 500 refugees on the ship off of Greece.
I’m just waiting for someone to point out that if we were to save and rehome the refugees, it will just encourage others to take unnecessary risks. Because I’m going to point to the multi-country, $10M/day search effort and ask whether or not Billionaires expect to get bailed out if they take unnecessary risks.
Rich people gonna rich.
