This whole situation was already depressing.<p>Now it is even more so considering that shareholders, who lost nothing of <i>real</i> value, are likely to receive to largest compensation.<p>&quot;Hey your kid dying might make you feel sad, but look what happened to my balance sheet! I&#x27;m the biggest victim here!&quot;<p>If you insist on putting a monetary value on human life, at least make sure you got your numbers in order.<p>Here&#x27;s hoping some of those shareholders take that money and give it somewhere where it does good. Personally I couldn&#x27;t keep it and live with myself.

Straight line calculation(not what will really happen) shows $2.89MM per family. Not out of line with US-valued wrongful death losses. Given that many individuals are outside the US, this is probably a good place to be. Of course its no replacement for a lost one.<p>Headline is clickbait though. It&#x27;s only one involved component.<p>Yes, investors also are owed something. This is similar to VW emissions cheating.

You can always put a price on human lives, suffering etc. It&#x27;s just not <i>nice</i> so we pretend that you can&#x27;t and assume a posture of indignant outrage when anyone concedes that you can.<p>But what else are you meant to do, really, in this situation, where the only possible compensation is financial?

From the article: &quot; such claims are no guarantee of a windfall for victims’ families&quot;. Windfall? what a terrible way to frame it as winning the lottery.
