Abandoned AmericaIf I were so obscenely rich I could drop half a million to take a family member on some risky trip to, say, the bottom of the ocean, I'd probably consider dropping a few thousand extra to hire someone to research whether the guy running the trip was a total clown who ignored blatant engineering and safety issues https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-faced-lawsuit-depths-safely-travel-oceangate
Arena Cops 🇺🇦✌@AbandonedAmerica What global decadence & disrespect of life looks like:
2023: Billionaires pay ~$250,000 for a dive down to the Titanic grave in about 15,000 feet below ocean surface.
2001: Each Russian family, that lost a relative, when the Kursk submarine sank, killing all 118 crew members on board, was promised an apartment and 720,000 rubles -- more than $20,000 -- in compensation.
[At first Putin, as president-freshman of Russia tried to ignore the Kursk-disaster, but faced furious attacks from sailors' moms, so he performed a kind of emergency competence.]
