so profiting off a dead pilot is an uproar, but profiting off a school full of dead Iranian school children gets you listed on the DOW

'Dystopian death market’ I'm pretty sure the term they're trying to dance around is a 'deadpool'

It’s just a technique to get the pilot to leak his fate. It’s a news tool.
