Through the great depression…

When 9/11 happened…

The 2008 housing crash…

COVID…

On a smaller scale, when the Titanic sank, I’m assuming someone inevitably got rich from the aftermath somehow?

Who are the people/groups that make up history’s must successful parasites? Who “came out on top” in each instance of historical human suffering?

      You make a < and the thing you want to quote

      But just saying: I said the greed is a factor, not the only thing causing a disaster. But usually you’ll find someone has cut corners, didn’t do maintenance, didn’t follow regulations, didn’t employ enough people…
