As Joel Gray, as the emcee, sang in the movie Cabaret, "money makes the world go round." Most of humankind has sunk that low!

Believing the Titanic was unsinkable didn't save her or the majority of her passengers. In fact, that false belief justified fewer life boats and resulted in many more unnecessary deaths.
