Well, perhaps other billionaires will see how these folks have been treated, and decide that they'd rather be remembered for doing something great for society, rather than pursuing individual/deadly hobbies.

You don't become a billionaire without being cool with exploiting people. Modern society rewards antisocial behavior.

Unfortunately, these migrant ships that sink are not exactly unique. There’s at least a handful that go down every year. As someone else pointed out that this is pretty much a first of its kind disaster. Tourists dying visiting the Titanic. Before this became news I had no idea that this was even something people do… then again I’m not a millionaire with a disposable 250k.

Migrant boat sinking with hundreds on board - tragic? Yes. Is this something new that happens? Unfortunately no.
