mmyeah. i learned today that some company in the U.S. has bought up a bunch of the scrap metal from Ground Zero, and will be melting them into commemorative plates for the low low price of 29.99. thousands have been preordered.
how much of this is going to charity? the victim's families? anything to benefit society? nothing.
how pathetic and self serving is that? it makes me sad to know that people want to exploit this tragedy beyond a media circus.
"oh, well, as long as i get richer."
pigs.

tell me about it.. i'm not exactly surprised though given what companies will do for a buck.. unfortunately this is how the economy works - tragedies make capitalists happy cuz it provides a potential increase in the GDP

Yea i heard about this on the news.......and they said that a portion of the proceeds from the sales wiil go to victoms of the attacks....but when the news then interviewed the charities and people who are suffering thay ALL said they want NO part of this and that it is a disgrace....
its pretty low if you ask me...but there are ALWAYS creepy people who can only gain from other peoples misfortunes.....pathetic...
