Valencia registers about 50 deaths by car accident per year, 1/3 of the deaths that the floods caused in the city. If you look at Spain as a whole, car deaths per year are much, much higher. Depending on how long it takes roads to unblock and cars to be replaced, this may in total be a win for human lives…
Its black humor, not cheering the deaths of people. It’s pointing out that we’ve been warning the world for years that exactly this will happen, and now it has in a way that resembles a system correcting itself. There’s no joy in hilighting this, just ironic tragedy and the laughter of the gallows.

Jesus fucking Christ. I get advocating for less car reliance but cheering the deaths of people just for owning cars is beyond fucked.

Who are cheering the death? The post had no mention of dead people.
The comment was removed but it was there and it had a depressing number of up votes.
This one?
Wow, 2 opvotes vs 52 downvotes. Soo depressing.
The post was new at the time and there were no downvotes.
It absolutely does. Fucking look at it. You can’t take the dead people out of this photo, you can’t pretend they’re not there.
I see no corpses in the photo. There is nothing to suggest those cars are occupied.
But the people might not own the cars, they’re entirely separate
I don’t see any people in the pic other than the ones walking at the top of the frame.
Are there dead bodies there that I’m not seeing?

The comment is likely gone now but there was someone cheering in the comments.
And had they replied to that comment they would have had a point.
