You are not being a ghoul. I would have thought the same. When the story broke out I honestly wondered who thought it was a good idea.

TIL about wish.com. I can feel this pillow just by looking at it:

oh boy, that actually IS pretty badass. That's how they get you.

I wish we could stop worrying about being perceived as ghouls. These are rich monsters who used the proceeds of their evil to take an extravagant vacation that backfired on them, and now the American taxpayers are paying for the Coast Guard to piss away time and resources searching for their dead asses.

Fuck them. I hope they die horribly and I will be glad when they do. They don't give a shit about my class so why should I give a shit about theirs?

My only experience of the materials the sub is made from is with hiking poles where my options seemed to be do I want them to break by shattering (carbon fibre) or break by bending (aluminium) when used by someone with limited skills (me)

OMG! Exactly this!! I'm sick of the breathless media on this. These jerks saw what they were getting into, signed waivers, and put their lives in the line all to do something cool. We shouldn't have multiple coast guards out there looking for them.

You're not being a ghoul at all, at least not IMO. It's a valid question. Some people have more money than brains. If I was a billionaire, the last thing I'd think to do is go to the bottom of the ocean. Why? If I want to see the Titanic, thousands of pictures of it have been taken since Robert Ballard found it in 1985. I can look at those in my megamansion.

Not saying these people deserve to die, but even a 1% chance of something going wrong is too high a risk
