    I’ve got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I’m really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.

    Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.

      I think worrying about people making fun of some rich ass billionaires dying for doing something stupid, is the last hill you should choose to die on. These people made their riches and wealth by exploiting normal people like you and me.

      You don’t have to actively root for their deaths, but I’m certainly not shedding any tears for them experiencing the consequences of their own actions.

        That’s… What he said? Lol

        “I’ve got no love for billionaires… but the glee people have for their deaths…”

        Let’s leave the “if you have any scrutiny whatsoever it must mean you’re on the opposite side of everything I stand for” bullshit on reddit where it belongs and actually read what people are saying.

        Wouldn’t say I’m dying on any hill here, only saying there are very few people whose deaths should be celebrated, and these are not those people.
