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?

I wonder how many people who have the "eat the rich" opinion are also feeling bad for these fucks.
