Missing submersible

Rich guy starts business that evades regulation, charges laughably exorbitant sums to its customers, and refuses to listen to warnings from experts in the field about the safety of his product because he did his own research.

Twitter: Sounds like wokeness.
 
Paying 250k to go deeper into the ocean than almost any other human had been in something with the structural integrity of a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager is a level of bravery that very few of us will ever achieve
They've been doing these for two years?

While I am one that despises the wokeness, saying this was caused by “going woke” is a pretty massive reach.
 
Well they have, so it's hardly ground breaking stuff here. If you had the cash you could have done the same thing. Is it really that special? The guy had the cash to put more money into the rig. It was stupidity more than anything.
 
If it did implode and they died peacefully then it’s not a bad way to go out. Dieing as an explorer seems like a good death to me
Yep. fI there's ANY solace in the tragedy, it's that an implosion at those depths would have been an instantaneous loss of life. Nobody on that mini-sub suffered. They went from being alive to being with the Lord, may they RIP.

Look pal, I laid on the sarcasm pretty thick initially so if you want to waste an hour or two I'm here for it
