Sounds like the exact same crap the police pull here in the US against minorities. They shot that kid for no reason and now they’re trying to drag his reputation through the mud by saying he had a record, but he only had a record because he was a minority struggling to make ends meet by driving.
Agreed and well said. I remember a report in the past year that showed the more consolidated an industry, the greater the amount of profit driven inflation. I think that helps show your point that it’s monopolistic power that’s enabling these companies to do this and that is what needs to be addressed, not interest rates.
I would appear that shit is going down.
If you read the Wikipedia entry on the Titan submersible, it mentions somewhere that the original designer only intended it as a one time use vehicle. That doesn’t inspire confidence.
The reports I heard said communication was lost when the sub was at a depth of 3300 meters, not feet. But yeah, carbon fiber seems like a bad choice and the thing was an implosion waiting to happen.
Love how they dedicated a good 5 seconds of time to kicking the chicken and seeing how far it goes.
I knew he was an ass, but this takes it to an entirely new level. Almost every expert in the matter was telling Stockton Rush that the Titan would implode and he ignored them for over 6 years. Not only that, he actively sued a whistleblower and essentially threatened him with bankruptcy to prevent him from going public with the very legitimate safety concerns. And he also organized the dives and payments in such away as to avoid any kind of regulation or penalty whatsoever.
