@anne_twain @MeanwhileinCanada The novelty does make it more interesting. I'm not immune to that effect. But it should have no bearing whatsoever on where our efforts and resources are devoted. Every human life has value. And billionaires already have plenty of people to look out for them. So 100% of our time and energy should go to helping the refugees.

@hosford42 @anne_twain @MeanwhileinCanada Furthermore, the billionaires who went out of their way to avoid a regulatory safety framework because "they knew better" already opted out. You don't get to opt out of society when you don't like it, then expect it to cover your butt when things get bad.

Contrast the migrants, who would all have absolutely preferred a safe way to seek a better life, but got forced into terrible choices between bad options
