” Their job is not to save the Titanic. Their job is to try to keep it afloat a little longer. “

Just long enough to push the women and children aside so they can have the lifeboats all to themselves...

Well, to cut them a little slack, if you were in their shoes and it was obvious to you that the ship is going down and your job is to keep it upright for the passengers, what would you do?

I’m not saying they are right, but what may be happening here is that they are just trying to keep the ship afloat as long as possible, which IS their job. Of course, the analogy breaks here because the REAL Titanic plunged to the bottom and it didn’t matter how fast or deep. In our case, it does.

That is, what they are doing could result in an absolute catastrophy that was really not necessary.

I believe this will end with WWIII.
