Guy sounds like a Class A horse’s ass - and tragically others may be dead because of his virtue-signaling arrogance.
Rehashing the same story multiple times in a couple of days.
You do the wokey brokey as your ship is lost at sea
“Inspired” ain’t what it used to be
So the silver lining of the story is that no one can call them racists.
Decisions have consequences.....
He used a $49 video game controller to run the sub and refused to obtain government safety certification.
I feel bad for tbe boy, but the other passengers clearly assumed the risk.
In the future we should require operators to post a bond to cover rescue costs. Taxpayers should not foot the bill.
‘We will all die in a woke submarine , a woke submarine, a woke submarine.
Shows you can be rich and still be a moron......
“There’s no voice communications with topside because Stockton Rush, in his interview with Teledyne, said that he was tired of being interrupted from topside with update requests which is why chose to go with the Data Acoustic Modem that would transmit the position and depth of the submarine continuously so that he could enjoy his submarine ride.”
we are not a meritocracy....we are a shallow, petty, silly society led by shallow, petty, and silly, and STUPID people such as this ceo..
The “Action Park” of submarine tourism. The only thing this story lacks is a Kennedy.
That company is gone.
One wonders if the real reason he didn’t hire any 50-year-old submariners is because they all took one look at the specs on his sub and said “I’m out.”
Ben Shapiro talked about it on yesterdays podcast. Said it was basically a water tank controlled by video game components .
Almost all parts were available at big box stores. Building something with Home Depot components that’s supposed to be able to function for days in the ink like blackness, icy temps and crushing pressures of 2 miles of salt water….Then charging the rich 100s of thousands of dollars to ride in it.
Sounds like something a woke person would do.
There were at least TWO - 50 yr old white guys on that sub.
Hypocritical dead guy…
If what has been reported is true then the owner should face criminal charges and he will most certainly face civil charges.
“When I started the business, one of the things you’ll find, there are other sub-operators out there, but they typically have, uh, gentlemen who are ex-military submariners, and they — you’ll see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys,”
They succeeded in teaching this guy to hate himself and he committed suicide… more or less.
By the way history is full of young people being inspired by older people. It’s the interest and accomplishment which inspires.
