So the billionaires’ families are gonna get billed for all of this like the time my family got billed for my ambulance ride, right? Right?

      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.
