These people have already consumed more resources than most people would in 20 lifetimes. They are one of the owners of the capitalist exploitation machine.
I know they have people tripping over themselves to save them from their own extreme tourism misadventure because money, but for me at least, it's depressing as fuck to watch so many regular people, the peasants our global oligarchs oppress, sitting on the edge of their seat rooting for them while not giving a shit about the millions dying of exposure and police harassment in tent cities for the crime of not being good enough capitalists.
Sure, save them if feasable, but I wish the people the billionaires exploited and tossed aside that correctly lose hope and wait under a bridge to die for lack of options got even a tiny fraction of this attention, let alone assistance. Some peasants literally wish death on those struggling people for hurting their property values with their continued existence.
