You don’t get to be a billionaire without exploiting a fuckton of people, there is no such thing as a good or ethical billionaire.
The only sad part about that submarine story is that it couldn’t hold more billionaires.
I mean, a billionaire dying after dismissing numerous safety concerns, disregarding regulations, all for bragging rights is pretty ironic considering that normally innocent people are the ones who gets harmed. I hope all the other billionaires take note of how we feel about them.

And the 19 year old who hadn’t exploited anyone but died all the same?
People died because of their hubristic and needlessly extravagant hobby: visiting the wreck of a vessel that famously killed people because of hubris and needless extravagance. Sure I’m not laughing out loud or celebrating their death, but you must admit there’s at least a wry irony here.
reddit 196 went the trans circlejerk route but they were still funny
lemmy 196 went the trans circlejerk route but I don’t find them as funny
especially those submarine memes
a post I saw
“The Titanic submersible passengers have died. It’s OK to celebrate. 🥳”
“The week has been made. The five people who went missing in the submersible exploring the Titanic wreckage ate shit, according to the authorities.”
this is a real post, see for yourself

I wonder how many people who have the “eat the rich” opinion are also feeling bad for these fucks.
The memes are in general not “funny” per se, but the situation sure is. Are you implying otherwise?
Like, funny “haha”? Or weird funny?
People died; it’s about as comical as migrants drowning in the Mediterranean.

People frequently die climbing Everest, but we don’t pillary them for ever having tried it.
What you do in your own home is your business, but posting memes publicly for anyone (including the family of the deceased) to see is in poor taste
Oh no we all think everest ascent is stupid too. Absolutely it’s in poor taste. Is this your first time on the Internet?
Idk, I just expected better I guess.
Actually, I call Everest the realist Tourist Trap for that reason. The cost of my hobbies cant pay for life saving medical treatments.
I don’t think billionaires are people, so maybe there’s your answer.
