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.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
I'm only following to make sure he's really dead. The world could use less billionaires
Do you want my billionaire? I thought it would be a novelty, to show off to my friends, like a houseplant, but it turns out, its kind of just a piece of shit.
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
It's because it's related to the Titanic, and for whatever reason that shipwreck has a grip on western psyches. Dunno why but it just is what it is
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.
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.
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.
What the fuck is going on with some of these comments. You can dislike the wealthy but still feel empathy for human beings (maybe) dying an horrific death.
Oh dear.
Anyway....
I sure hope the sub is okay.
Good riddance.
So it's not all bad news
Can you explain how this counts as news, @[email protected]?
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!
