Hung on his own petard.
His last video, found in the sub was, ‘Roseglub!’
The above is a very sensible statement. Taking "safety just is pure waste" out of context is a disservice to every reader and Rush.
The US taxpayer gets to gleefully foot the bill for the rank stupidity of this commercial company.
And Canadians and French, et al............
The good news is this CEO jerk-wad will no longer purposely endanger the lives of others by ignoring established submarine safety standards.
The bad news is this a$$ took four others with him. Rich people or stupid people or not, these folks did not deserve this fate.
I simply do not have any sympathy at all for this clown that thinks 50 year old white guys that are experts in submarine technology are a pure waste. May the worms down below enjoy their feast on Stockton Rush’s remains. May this or similar happen to all the other elite wokesters wrecking western society.
“Taking “safety just is pure waste” out of context is a disservice to every reader and Rush.”
For the media and establishment, everything is about advancing a narrative.
“The above is a very sensible statement. “
No, it is not. The rues were written in blood and exist to prevent more bloodshed. It is a retarded statement by someone who will get himself and others killed, and he did.
I’ll bet that this Rush character has sung a different tune now, sad to say. I still pray for the families of those who are in this submersible, and who, according to those in the know have probably run out of oxygen.
Guessing the game controller did not get new batteries before the trip. Too bad Rusk can’t be charged with murder. Or the sub imploded. Stupid flippant narcissist. Safety rules just bit him and sadly 5 others who trusted him with their lives.
The father and son’s business interests were to get away from fossil fuels yet it’s fossils fuels that searching for them.
When you’re dumb, you gotta be tough.
Back in the day Stockton Rush would have gone over Niagara Falls in a potato bag
Safety was not considered. The vessel was badly designed. The burden of responsibility falls on the company.
Going 2.5 miles below the surface of the ocean is serious business. The pressure on the sub is enormous. Too many things can go wrong and for some, there is no way to recover.
Hoping they are on the surface waiting to be let out - the stupid design of the thing means that it cannot be opened from the inside.
I would not have set foot into that vehicle for any incentive in the world. Unmanned vehicles give you the same view, but not the ability to say “I was there.”
“Taking “safety just is pure waste” out of context is a disservice to every reader and Rush.”
The context is that he fired a whistleblower who told him how dangerous the enterprise was.
He was not smart enough to be able to figure out when “safety just is pure waste”.
A great many rules are based on opinion and speculation.
Example: Short barreled rifles require a $200 tax stamp, fingerprints, and months worth of rules to acquire.
Pistols and rifles do not.
The rules about short barreled rifles were passed out of sheer ignorance, stupidity, and bureaucratic empire building.
I have seen this guy before, I worked with ones like him and for ones like him but not for very long. When they start talking about breaking down barriers, innovation, throwing away the rule book and other crap like that I find some other project to work on.
I have dealt with people who just had to change things and were blind or scornful of the way things are done without knowing why they are done a certain way.
I suppose there is a certain recklessness to innovative and real and useful change but only if you don’t think of consequences or others or they are of the same willing bent to risk it all.
Never knew it had a name. I only observed that people should not change things before they understand why they are there or done in a certain way in the first place but they do too often. Some dude gave this a name in 1929.
New people wanting to be movers and shakers, new generations ignorant of much, all seem bent on changing things without understanding why they exist in the first place. There can be an erroneous arrogance in assuming anybody before did things because they were not as smart. We seem to be getting a whole lot of that these days with the new generations in charge of the world we live in. Energetic enthusiasm, perhaps youthful as well, can be quite a good thing when planned though.
It is not that change is not good so long as it makes things better. Improvement may be better than change though.

What if they died of hypothermia? Still a tough way to go out.

I generally concur that it is taken out of context but this is the quote he will be remembered for in history and if it were just him on the sub it would be no different than the person who goes over Niagra Falls in a barrel.
He chose to make a business out of his “risk” and other persons lives were gambled on his experimental craft and now the lawyers will circle like buzzards.
