Au contraire, I think more rich people should take risks like this. It shows how macho and ahead of the curve and disruptive they are. All those other rich people that aren’t willing to get into an experimental vehicle with risk of catastrophic failure and even death are just crybaby namby pamby cucks who aren’t living their best lives!
Just
buyride it! If you were on your deathbead, and you looked back, wouldn’t you regret not having tried it while you still could’ve?/S
This, but unironically.
They did. That sub had several previous trips to test and with other passengers before they took the rich people. However because of the composite hull, you had a buildup of damage internally and it only collapsed on the rich guy run. And they buildup of damage was exactly what experts warned about.
I suspect these people are the test subjects of a test conducted by even richer people.
A Rich-ception
Bezos: “Welp, gonna need another test before I can cross the Marianas Trench of my bucket list.”
eh they got exactly what they were after… now they’re members of a really exclusive club…
Why stop there? Shoulda started with a few homeless people. Even the homeless can use a game controller, I think…

Cope!
Fucking!

We got a couple of bums down the road crapping up the park you can have.
PS: I don’t agree with what the meme is implying, but it’s funny anyway. I mean, if the submersible didn’t have two pakistanis in it, people who cared about the submersible would have been deemed racist because they only care about the submersible because it was filled with well-off white men. And I am saying this as a brown man :) I cared more about the story because it had two Pakistanis in it. I can only imagine it would get good coverage in a country with majority white people.
Well, uh, “thank goodness there was some melination on there to…stop racists from racisting”??? Is that what you mean???
No, I am saying our minds are set to see patterns and had this been a completely white crew (even if they weren’t their solely because of skin color) the story’s coverage would have been seen as racist. Since there are brown people over there, it doesn’t fit the pattern and is no longer seen as racist.
I am just saying, we sometimes recognize patterns that quite frankly aren’t there.
You can still be a racist and be unsettled by this, because the melinated guys DO NOT MATTER to you. I mean, you can simultaneously wax poetic about the white guys on board and also not care about the Pakistani people on board.
“Thank goodness we had that Pakistani on board!”
Like literally this very wealthy class of people is overwhelmingly racist anyway soooooooo you don’t get a free pass with your token people along with you.
To be fair to the disgusting parasites who are ruining Earth for everyone else who has to live on it, I don’t think most of them are actually racist. They just like to use racism as an excuse to keep the rest of us divided and fighting each other instead of our real enemies. They look down on poor white people the exact same way they look down on poor people of any other race.
That’s important to remember, because ignoring it is part of how they keep us divided.
I agree, however we’re already divided because many of those poor unfortunate white people are VERY happily racist, and would continue to be even if it brought their personal ruin.
Some of them, of course. It’s not caused by being poor and white though. It’s a thing people are taught. It’s not exactly trivial to undo decades of belief, but we can and should fight against it.
I mean yes but until then lots of them literally want to shoot brown people and kill me for being a lib sooooo there’s that
The vast majority of reports and commentaries about the incident say nothing about the race of the passengers. They instead talk about how stupid it is to use a composite hull for deep dives. People are interested in this news because of the hubris involved - and the wealthy to a lesser extent. But not by race.
Funny meme but this is a bad take
