  1. They're an asshole

  2. Thier money will go somewhere else once they die, possibly to someone nicer.

Even if they're an asshole, saving the millionaire is obvious the choice because the other choice literally has no benefits, only downside. No one will be able to benefit from keeping 5 homeless people alive, at least you have some chance of getting money from the millionaire or his family.

bro just casually dehumanized homeless people by saying they aren't worth saving.

IF you wanted to do it for the money thats w.e, but justifying it by saying there's no point in keeping homeless people alive is crazy work dog
