When people hate others simply because of how much money they have, well, it really shows their colors.

@freemo they fired the structural engineer for being white and telling them they were doing to die.

then they died.

shit writes itself.

@icedquinn @freemo Obviously expressing joy at someones death is horrible. However, I suspect that some people were more trying to poke fun at the way our media trains us to care about relatively inconsequential things. I have seen dozens of news stories suggested to me over the past weeks about this group of foolhardy people (who also happened to be extremely wealthy) dying in a completely foreseeable way. Everyone at my workplace knows this story inside and out. Yet a few weeks ago not a single story appeared anywhere about the chinese helping to put an end to the decades long war in Yemen, a war in which american drones were killing women and children so that they could have better relations with the Saudis. Most of these same people dont even know that there was ever a war in Yemen, let alone that their tax dollars were probably used for war crimes.

@Clementulus @freemo i've seen people list some various things this was used to distract everyone from.

i've also seen some discussion that every time the press gets stuck on really silly shit, it's typically to cover up serious news that is bad for the regime
