So the billionaires’ families are gonna get billed for all of this like the time my family got billed for my ambulance ride, right? Right?

@studiofox THIS is what I wanna know. People get billed for S&R on the mountains here ALL the time. Absolutely should apply to these people.

@MsHearthWitch @studiofox You gotta know the difference between the wave you give to the chopper to say "help" and the wave you give to the chopper to say "piss off".

@MsHearthWitch @studiofox It should definitely be billed to the company that sent the thing. You should have insurance for this.
Show threadWillow (she/her)Jun 22, 2023
@colorblindcowboy @studiofox For sure. Tax payers should not be footing the bill for billionaire's mistakes.
Gods know we're footing the bill for their rest of their shit.

@colorblindcowboy @MsHearthWitch I was reading insurance speculation and the idea that the sub wasn’t certified in any way made people think insurers wouldn’t touch it. So I’m wondering how they would do liability and insurance at all.

@colorblindcowboy @MsHearthWitch @studiofox they better hurry because that company is going to get sued into oblivion

@gneilyo @MsHearthWitch @studiofox Can we do a class-action lawsuit as taxpayers?
Show threadWillow (she/her)Jun 22, 2023
@colorblindcowboy @gneilyo @studiofox I'd sign onto that.

@MsHearthWitch US Coast Guard is not allowed to charge for rescues by statute. They can fine and recover costs for environmental damage. Some states charge for rescues, some don't. The US Park Service charges between $1000-1600/hr if a helicopter is needed but nothing otherwise....

@Okanogen Yeah except a lot more than just the US Coast Guard were involved.
I'm not American, but my country has spent money looking for those idiots.

@MsHearthWitch
What happens if you refuse to pay? They probably just sue you, but can you imagine them dropping you back off where they found you?

@phi1997 @MsHearthWitch you get hit with the bill afterwards and then comes the debt collectors and such.
