THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

At which point do you suppose the realization sets in that they have 96 hours of air for 5 people, so if they all agreed to team up and kill one of the others, they could stretch the air longer? And then how much longer before they do it again? And who are they picking, and what are their arguments and promises?

Medical grade if its something touching your skin.

Military grade will probably dissolve your skin and cause you serious health problems in a couple decades.

Aerospace grade if you want light, functional and don't mind the cost.

Looks like the other two paying customers on the Titan are/were also (near) billionaires:

"British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman, are among those aboard the missing submersible, according to a statement from the Engro Corporation, of which Mr. Dawood is a vice chairman. Mr. Dawood is a scion of one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families, with a background in textiles and fertilizer manufacturing.

Mr. Dawood and his son had “embarked on a journey to visit the remnants of the Titanic” when contact with the vessel was lost, the statement said, asking for prayers for their safe return and privacy for the family.

Mr. Dawood is also on the board of trustees for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute. The organization said on its website that he was a resident of the United Kingdom, and a father of two children."

I gotta say though, this submersible is a good Black Mirror promo.

There used to be a thread on these forums for making fun of rich people dying on Everest. I believe it got taken down for being "too insensitive" but this was about 5 years ago, I wonder if it would be treated the same in 2023. Laughing directly at the wealthy when they die or suffer from their own hubris is all we're going to get, enjoy it.

How does Biehn get mentioned without Navy Seals, that movie is psychotic but an accurate depiction of our best warriors. Racist and bloodthirsty.
