Sixty people die when Russia bombs a Ukrainian school and it passes by without much reaction. A sub with 4 people who know the risk of what they’re doing and a billionaire thrill seeker goes missing and it’s news to follow hourly.
I get where you are coming from, but there was a lot of coverage of that event back in May.
Also, billionaires should not exist.
Because a bombing in a war isn’t unexpected no matter how tragic it is.
Whereas it’s rare that a group of multi-millionaires tries to visit the Titanic in a MacGyver-esque hobby submarine.
I’m only following to make sure he’s really dead. The world could use less billionaires
While true, his billions aren’t going to be distributed to the poor, a dead billionaires money goes to a dead billionaires family who probably deserves the money even less but feel owed the money even more than he did.
there could be a hefty inheritance tax. you never know
The world isn’t going to get his money. Things aren’t suddenly become fair in the world because a billionaire died.
Clearly. One less dragon hoarding untold wealth though
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
A billionaire doing his part on stopping the existence of billionaires would be great. I fear the inheritence, though. Maybe something good will come out of it.
I can only say: I would have not wished that person harm. I would have wished them to return safely. But it does not make me sad to hear that they did not.
If only these people didn’t have so much money to waste, they’d be safe. Karma?
Well, it is like space exploration. There are scientists, engineers and those who dream to be them. It is just part of humanity that we love going on adventures, that’s the same for rich and poor. Only that some are more risk tolerated and some less
This man is not a scientist, engineer, or anyone with any social value whatsoever.
The company that provides these tours uses the money to also perform scientific research on the Titanic.
What ‘scientific research’ is there that needs to be done on the Titanic in 2023? That’s an obvious smokeshow.
He might fund people who are though (…though I wish we didn’t have a system that would need that…)
Well anyone ‘could’ fund anything, but this guy has made his fortune on private jets, him dying is almost certainly a good thing for the world. Imagine how much damage.
So it’s not all bad news
Can you explain how this counts as news, @hikarulsi@lemmy.world?
This is massively insulting to the rest of the people onboard as well, who are not mentioned in the article from what I saw.
Billionaires dying is news in my book!
