    A billionaire fucked around showing off and found out. One less billionaire bent on acquisition and greed at humanity’s expense. So sad…

    How many homeless could we house/treat/feed for the cost of rescuing this billionaire and his cadre who didn’t risk their lives for scientific data or anything noble, but for wasteful luxury tourism? Why take interest when one of the world’s oppressors takes his own life while ignoring the innumerable victims of the world’s oligarch class who didn’t capitalism well enough and got thrown away like garbage?

      The international community when a boat packed with refugees sinks: This is so sad, but our hands are tied. If only they had thought about this before being born in a poor nation.

      The international community when three rich people go missing on vacation: DEPLOY EARTH’S ENTIRE NAVY TO RESCUE THESE INTREPID HEROES

      EDIT: To be clear, I think we should try our best to rescue everyone who is in a shipwreck, including the people in this submarine.

        I think the wreckage of this sub should be added as a curiosity to future tours of the titanics remains.

      Showing off? Nobody knew what this guy was doing, or his name even, before all this blew out. Lol.
