Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

Good for him, but isn't that his job? Do we have to be thankful when people do their jobs? Isn't that what we all do?! Do they want to give him a participation ribbon or something? Not dissing the guy, at least someone did their job, just saying. Don't fall for the distraction propaganda. Fight the power.
some people criticized, what about the other rescuers, civilians that also helped out. i think MSMs only did it because he was part of the services and white(also FOX was one of the msm that interviewed him first.)
Let's call it what it is: propaganda
They trotted out this story the moment the death toll hit 80, and wouldn't you know it, this one guy saved DOUBLE that number of people. So really, we should be thanking this guy and praising the coast guard, right?
Not thinking about the fact that this was a preventable disaster directly resulting from the government spending cuts to critical weather monitoring services because they dont want to have climate change reported on.
yes it was propaganda, hence why they dint interview the poc that saved people.
