You’re correct. I feel far worse for the refugees than the billionaires in the sub. But that being said i feel awful for the 19 year old on that ship. I know i would have said yes too because how many people can say “im going on holiday to the titanic” sounds great in concept. He may have been a rich kid but still a kid.
He is 19, he should be old enough to come to a reasonable conclusion that his family if profiting off of the suffering of the Pakistani people. He lived overseas, far away from the problem and I bet if you find his social media pages they are full of expensive things that you would never be able to get in Pakistan.
Edit- it’s very evident that none of you have lived in an impoverished country before. I hate to use this word, but the privilege here is palpable.
I’m out of the loop, can you explain what you mean when you specify Pakistani people? I’ve read very little about this incident as I think many have, only learning about it incidentally when happening across posts like this.
The 19 year old everyone is so sad about, his father is very high up in the leadership of the largest company in Pakistan. Most people here seem to have no clue about how impoverish countries work, but for one person/family to accumulate so much wealth when the people of that country are very poor mean they are exploiting the people and the resources of the country for their own gain.
I don’t think people would be so upset about the young adult if this was a child from the Sachmans, or the Waltons.
