        If you think any billionaire “worked” for the amount of money they have, you’re sorely mistaken. It’s a byproduct of a flawed economic system, not their “work ethic.” Not to say capitalism doesn’t have it’s benefits, but it’s the system in which capitalism is allowed to operate that produces inequalities like that.

        Yes. Considering the net loss in population and the its aging, an influx of new people generates new consumption and opportunities for market growth, and sustains socialized systems like pensions and health care, albeit over a long period.

        On the other hand, billionaires hoard disgusting fortunes like fucking dragons to the detriment of society at large. They thus deserve to be slayed, like we would dragons.

        Did you know some of the original guillotines already exist?

              Not what I meant. If they break the law, they should be put through the legal system and actually be treated like any criminal instead of getting special privileges. What I meant is that I am against executions in general; even mass murderers shouldn’t be executed once they are in custody of the state, they should be in prison for as long as needed to keep them away from society.

                  It is a problem, and their wealth needs to be redistributed regardless, but the rule of law is important. If a billionaire has done zero crimes, they should still not be allowed to keep the majority of their wealth, but they shouldn’t be imprisoned if they hadn’t broken the law.

        The rich can only “create jobs” because we have an economic and political system that skews reward toward investment rather than labor. Both are important, but let’s not pretend that anyone can earn a billions without excessive wage theft from the people doing the actual labor.

    It’s easy to polarize with such a headline/picture. Reality is way more nuanced than this:

    Migrants are in fact being saved from shipwrecks, it is (sadly) in the news every week or so. The main problem is that these migrants don’t have communication devices with them to signal emergencies, unlike the submarine. The boat on the surface alarmed emergency services when they lost connection with the sub, starting the rescue operation. It is difficult to rescue a boat of migrants, when you don’t even know that they are in danger in the first place.

    Secondly, the harsh reality is that most migrants try to enter a country illegally. Which by definition, is a huge risk on their part. The rich people on the sub were not doing anything illegal. However, in both cases, the people in or on the boat accepted the risks involved in their endeavor.

          @gun open migration doesn’t require the elimination of borders. There is a border between Germany & France, but that doesn’t mean they have to stop people from crossing it. It still exists, laws are different, etc.

            Right, but if you want to stop school shootings with gun control and are also left wing enough to want zero borders, how will gun control be possible if crazies can just go and get their guns from places where its legal to get them. Am I fascist for pointing out an obvious contradiction?

            … Of course it is? We have things like taxation and social safety nets that allow a society to function. Never mind the simple fact that some places are stressed for resources as it is. That’s not to say it can’t be done better, but it’s naive to think it’s “simple”. Never mind that simple doesn’t necessarily mean easy…

            Then that mean you don’t have enough geopolitical knowledge and if you want get an more advanced opinions about that subject you should not only read and learn about humanitary knowledge (all live matter) but also those who don’t have the same opinion. I hope you will be able to understand and not be someone who is unable to understand because most people’s prefer get use to general opinion and what the media tell them (manipulate) to think with the objective to separate them in order to manipulate them more simply.

              @Ronno @Banana this sounds very similar to “who will pick the cotton?” that was “just asking questions” as to why slavery should remain legal in the southern united states in the 19th century. It’s the right thing to do. One’s individual rights does not force obligations on the other. A freed market would provide.

                IMO, those are very different situations, with slavery their freedom was taken. Most of the migrants (not refugees) are free, they are simply in search for a better life. Which is understandable, don’t get me wrong. But the picture that is painted is too bright, people hop on a boat to “paradise” and are promised a life of riches. The reality is, this is not the situation they will find themselves in. Even if we were to allow them into the country, they would still live poor lives. Sure some will succeed, but most of them don’t have the foundational knowledge/skills/command of the language of the country to get a job and find a place to live.

                Meanwhile, looking at my own country The Netherlands, we see that natives are also struggling for housing. My generation is basically fucked, young families cannot buy nor rent a home to start their family in. This will impact The Netherlands for years/decades to come, it will be reflected in birth rate and future workforce. Allowing other people in the country now would be catastrophic.

                On the other hand, recently there was an article about an approach by French farmers which I like. They sourced Moroccan workers, that could work in France for a couple months (IIRC max stay was 3 months), during this time, the workers would receive fair pay. After the work permit ends, the workers have to go back to Morocco. Then they are only allowed to go back to work in France after a period of time, with a new workers permit.

                The key benefit is that workers bring the money back home, benefitting Morocco financially, and France with workforce. Most of this work by the farmers is seasonal anyway.

    If these dumbasses have enough money to drop on a ticket aboard this sub to look at something you can see on a documentary, they should also have to foot the bill for the rescue mission. I’m sure all these rescue programs are tax funded that they dodge themselves. So, not only are they squirreling and eating up money we could all be using, but now we’re picking up the check.

          @DudePluto I’m not sure where you live, but in my part of the world approx. 50% of my income goes to taxes, either directly (sales tax, income tax, social security tax, medicare tax, property tax) or indirectly (taxes paid by people who make the things I buy that increases the overall cost of the things I buy). If some billionaire is stuck in a sub, whoever wants him alive can pay for it.

            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

    Nobody cares that they are millionaires!
    You think the coastguard is only helping them because they are millionaires? No they are trying to help because it’s their job!

    I guess all those miners getting stuck in mines during collapses and millions of equipment was shipped over to try and save them over weeks of time was because the miners were all millionaires.

    You have a fucked up view of the world if you think only millionaires get helped in emergency situations.

      Well, you know. In this particular case the Coastal Guard did not do their job. That’s what gets the uproar.

    That’s not really comparable. When any citizen of a country gets lost either at sea or on land, large probably also multi million dollar searches are performed.

    The difference is more to do with whether they’re immigrants or natives.

      Small correction, it has to do with whether they’re citizens or not.

      But being a billionaire also helps.

        Non-citizen lives don’t matter? Do you ever check someone’s passport before saving them from drowning? Ridiculous.

            This isn’t true. This is only a recent politicized phenomena. It never used to happen where people would excuse letting migrants drown. And I highly doubt any government rescue team checks your passport before dumping you back in the water. This only happens because of how highly politicized this issue is.

              You’re right actually, I can’t find a source that says governments have a duty to protect their citizens, so by extension, there’s no argument to only use your forces to protect citizens and not non-citizens

      But it is also absurd that we, on one hand, agree that all human lives have equal worth… and on the other straight up consider a citicizen to be worth more than 1000 non-citizens.

      I don’t know how one can possibly argue that it is humane and in line with what we say our values are.

        I think it also has to do with the fact they’re illegally crossing. If an American or a Filipino got lost in Europe they’d still search for them. Hell, every year here in Croatia we have to rescue Czechs who climb up mountains in flip flops.
        I guess the reason is that what they’re doing is illegal, and you don’t have enough resources to track and save every single migrant ship.
        I mean, I don’t remember hearing Frontex or national coast guards completely ignoring sinking ships, they often try to save them from what I know, they just don’t have as many resources.

        But I do think rescue capabilities could be improved. I don’t know how hard it is, but I feel like with modern technology, setting up radar combined with satellite imagery shouldn’t be that hard. Ships stick out of the water a lot, so tracking the ships that are out of place shouldn’t be too hard.

        Regarding immigration, once I believed we should take in all refugees, but now I’ve come to realise that it’s more complicated. Untill we figure out how to properly assimilate them into society, it will only lead to problems and disappointment on both sides. If immigrants huddle up into segregated communities they won’t assimilate, they’ll be poor, and that’s the source of all conflict. I don’t believe they’re any different from us, nor that their cultures are completely incompatible, but if they become segregated they will be ostracized from society, they’ll be poor and resent society for shunning them. They came to this land from so far away, hearing promises of how great it is, and then they live worse than they did back home. That leads to crime, more resentment and racism, leading to them having an even harder time. It’s a brutal cycle.

          You do realize what these billionaires were doing was illegal too? It is riddled with safety and security violations, but were only able to bypass it because they did it entirely on their own.

          But hey, the lives of hundreds of thousands does not matter if the some random corrupt legislator did not create a legal path for them to immigrate. Totally makes sense.

          Are you serious? Or do you mean to say you did not hear about them ignoring ships since they are usually watching them drowning or even actively trying to sink them?

          They came to this land from so far away, hearing promises of how great it is, and then they live worse than they did back home.

          Ahh, so you are just helping them by denying basic human rights of seeking for asylum and a better life. That’s too kind of you.

      And the fact that these responses are from two completely different countries and continents. Unless you’re talking about the media response, which OP has specifically said he’s not. He’s more concerned about having to pay taxes.

      If you’re not talking about media response then the whole conversation is pointless. It’s not “hypocrisy” that Canada and the US responded differently from Greece to a crisis next to their waters

          Neither. I’m insisting on intellectual honesty by asking how the US and Canada’s response to a missing sub off their own waters is relevant to the Greek response to missing migrants off theirs.

          They’re providing that as justification.

    Problem is the choices are;

    A) seeing migrants die en masse makes people feel bad and helpless and weak.

    B) Allowing people to say “stupid dumbass billionaires” makes people feel like they are better than some stupid dumbass billionaires.

    It was always going to be B. Most times the media just goes where we demand it goes. If you want to complain about why the media is so shit -blame all of us.

      Rich dude created a company that provides submarine tours of the titanic wreckage, except he built it and operated it stupidly (off the shelf “camping” parts, bad weather conditions). Now he’s trapped in the submarine with like 4 other folks where no one knows where they are, and they are expected to run out of oxygen in like 12 hours from posting this.

      Super tragic but like, totally avoidable.

      A bunch of super wealthy dudes (including a bloke who went to space with Mr. Amazon and two members of one of Pakistan’s biggest petrochemical families) got into an obvious death trap after signing a waiver that said that there’s a decent chance that it’d kill them and now that it’s gone missing multiple governments are spending millions of dollars on an attempt to rescue them on the off chance that they’re actually still alive because the lives of the wealthy matter more than the lives of normal people.

        Or maybe it has to do more with the region in which they’re lost. The USCG is typically very good about aiding anyone within their AOR, no matter their socioeconomic class. This should be framed more as “why isn’t Europe/Greece doing their jobs” than “why are the USCG/Canada actually doing their jobs”.

      Some rich people got put into a submersible where the glass hatch is bolted to the vehicle. The pilot then proceeds to turn on the Xbox controller to activate the vehicle. None of these rich people thought they should ask if the vehicle had and safety precautions, or perhaps a fucking steering wheel. The media has gone nuts over this story. Like “balloon boy” nuts.

    The US federal government values the average citizen’s life at something like ~$12 million. This is mostly for policy like if 1,000 people a year die from something, say an unsafe ferris wheel design, a solution that would save them costing more than (1,000*12,000,000=)$12 billion would be rejected and considered not worth the economic cost. If the solution were cheaper, and cost like $500 million, then with good lobbying and a reasonable administration, it could easily become a new regulation.

    Generally speaking if 5 anybodies went down like this submersible, you’d expect at least some millions to be spent in recovery missions.

    The ~$12 million figure is what the NHTSA is currently using for its purposes.

      That’s just the start my dude. Once we disregard insignificant values like human rights and personal freedom, solving the issue of other people making problematic choices becomes trivial.

      Imagine all the crime we would prevent if we just locked up anyone who earns less than say 50k euros.
