        Apparently there’s thousands of billionaires. Which completely baffles. Just one of them could make sure kids never had to go hungry ever again.

          Kids don’t go hungry because of money, they go hungry because of politics. Famines are the product of conflict, especially war. And hunger in countries that are not at war is a product of social inequality. Sure a billionaire could help but that’s just a temp fix.

    The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.

    And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean…I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all “old wealth” and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)

    It’s not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn’t absolutely manageable if caught early.

    Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?

      Any med school student should know how to macguyver an airway in an emergency. They literally teach it in civilian lifesaving classes these days. My guess is this guy was such an asshole, his entire medical staff was like “bruh I am not making the hole, you do it.”

        I don’t know which med school or civilian lifesaving courses you attend - but emergency cricothyrotomy surely isn’t a skill that is taught and mastered by any of these I teach.

        Cric is a delicate skill that needs repetition and knowledge - it’s far from easy and not even close to what is shown in some bad TV shows.

          iirc Epi-pen is the usual treatment, and those things are pretty easy to obtain.

          I think that OP philpo is on to something, that the medical staff was a bit slow to deal with the situation.

    The more we have animals exhibiting human behaviors, on top of whales & bees straight up attacking billionaires, the easier it is to believe in a collective subconscious.

      Frankly his lavish lifestyle of bee eating was, in retrospect, not a good idea.
