The coast guard has never charged for search and rescue. This was not an ambulance ride.
There is a coast guard where the titanic sank but not where the immigrant ship sank near greece?
Why would the US coast guard be near Greece?
Greek and turkish coast coard obviously.
You don't pay for ambulances in Greece and Turkey.
Indeed, what's the point?
I don't know many details on the loss there so I do not know if they were able to be saved or if they would have been assumed dead before the coast guard could have responded. Maybe the coast guard there just doesn't care?
Can't really compare either of these situation because they differ too much. Ask the Greek coast guard why they didn't make an effort.
There's a Sea Shepherd ship captain facing twenty years in an Italian prison because she rescued drowning migrants. Because, in government terms, she smuggled aliens into Italy.
And she's just one of the most well known cases in the West. A fisherman in Greece got 280 years in prison for piloting a single ship of migrants to shore.
Saying the governments of Italy, Greece, Turkey, etc, don't care about migrant lives understates the situation. They want migrants to die at sea, and they punish people who bring them to land.
Your logic is weird
Maybe ignorant, idk. But it baffles me that 5 people doing something stupid in international water get a massive rescue yet a boat trying to find a place to dock with hundreds of people does not.
Though by know i have heard mixed info that there where some rescue attempts but also that some captain supposedly got fines for trying to rescue.
My point of view is the billionaires were doing something stupid and that's the point. People love that. That's why there is so much media coverage. And there are so many bad things happening right now, why do people have to pick one and then hey, why don't you look at this!??! It's not that it's not bad; it's a bad thing that needs attention, and that's I accepted. But it's not as fun as looking at billionaires doing something stupid, right?
Your argument for an immoral mismanaging of funds by the world politics is it generates clicks?
The media is ti blame to frame it as a funny thing rather then a display of classcism showing that if you are rich enough armyswill try to rescue you no matter what you did.
We can laugh about it but we are just the internet and humor is a way to cope.
