I wonder what the odds are that I’ll be seeing this in my feed way more than I saw anything about Nepal. I’m guessing high. Just like how people who were mourning Dolly Parton and Tim Curry kept asking who the third person is going to be, while literally hundreds of people got killed in the same week in Nepal.
I mean it’s not surprising people are more affected by things that feel closer emotionally.
Or geographically.
I’ve been watching the developments in Nepal. I’ve even found a published study from last year that predicted the events exactly : glacial lake expanding over the last 15 years, high risk of GLOF (https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/jtha/article/view/80918/).
I’m sure Trump will smooth all this over with $500k, just like he did with Nepal.
