It's just money. Investment income at that.

Putting human beings at actual risk is an order of magnitude worse and I don't know why that's even debatable.

Everything is relative. "just money" is how it is for any one not homeless or below the poverty line.

Who was at actual risk during Fyre Festival? I watched one of the docs. It was an absolute shit show and people were super uncomfortable for a while. Actual risk that's an order of magnitude worse seems like an overreach.

People kill themselves over “just money”. People find their circumstances markedly reduced. Retirements ruined, health suffering due to stress, working longer, being unable to afford good care…

It’s likely this affects tens or hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It’s a different sort of crisis, but it’s still a crisis.
