    while i understand the sentiment, it is quite novel when a submarine is lost vs when a surface ship is lost

        Have you tried live streaming your drowning? Maybe that would get more attention from folks. Gotta pull yourself up by them booty straps!

            I don’t care how much you pay in taxes. If you calculated what percentage of your actual income went to trying to save people (specifically in this instance) the number would be infinitesimal. And you better believe that if this incident is found to be the result of corporate negligence there will be lawsuits and more.

            The fact that people turn legitimate anger and frustration from class warfare into hatred and indifference toward the suffering of fellow human beings is fucking disgusting. And I guarantee if you were in their boat and needed rescuing you’d spit in the direction of everyone holding their hands out for you to pay them to save you

              indifference toward the suffering of fellow human beings

              Sine qua non for being a billionaire

                I am certainly in agreement that billionaires are unhealthy for society and have no reason to exist. Their wealth should be redistributed. But I will not let my ideology eclipse my humanity. Nor should anyone.

                You don’t. You aren’t paying anything. Because you don’t pay for USGC. And we’re not getting rid of the coast guard. Move somewhere where essential governance doesn’t exist. Some libertarian utopia without building codes and roads. And die from eating toxic food.

            I’m fine with my tax dollars going to rescuing both. It would be a much better use of my money than more bombs
