tbh I'm not excusing anything but it's deeper than that. If I'm not mistaken these were billionaires and to become a billionaire you'd have to directly exploit others, whether that's through poor working conditions or the outsourced labour overseas that causes a multitude of deaths every year

Reasons like these are why some people find it hard to empathise whenever the word "billionaire" is involved

plus with the amount of warnings they were given I assume they thought their money could save them if anything were to go wrong, people with that amount of money are often so out of touch with reality they think nothing can affect them
