    How could anyone who’s been on beehaw in the last few days not have heard about the Pakistani migrants?

    We absolutely pick and choose whose lives have value.

    I don’t know who you mean when you say “we”. If you mean governments and power structures then yes, I agree and it’s one of the biggest flaws in our society. If you mean individuals, then yes, some people do, but it’s wrong to do so whether it’s billionaires, migrants, or anyone else. And I know a lot of people have a hard time with this.
