I just can’t get over a billionaire getting into a piece of poo poo like that.

If you’re a billionaire and dead set on doing this, you look at what James Cameron took down there. Does this look like that? Then pass.

That sub looks worse than the little robot that carried Ed Harris down into the trench in abyss.

There's this like absolutely overriding confidence they seem to have that can only be a result of being surrounded by yes-men and unimaginable riches their entire lives and it makes them easy marks for many types of scams

"Oh you think this sub looks like a garbage can? Well shows how much you know, heh"

The common rabble will just never understand, and that is why they're all so very, very poor and I am so very, very rich!

"Years ago I used to work carpentry mainly doing sunrooms. One of our clients was a brain surgeon who was married to a lawyer and they subsequently had a massive house on a large property. Their son was also some type of neuroscientist and with his parents' permission, had yet another massive house built on this same property. Problem is, city ordinances prohibit 2 separate livable dwellings on the same property.

Mind you these houses were about a quarter mile away from each other. So to comply with the ordinances, THEY BUILD A loving WALL BETWEEN THE HOUSES. And this isn't just some dinky picket fence type of wall, it's a massive medieval style wall that has round towers with merlons and crenels, a gym midway through, AND a massive $750k+ all-glass sunroom all the while being wide enough to have room for a walking path and a road for golf carts.... inside the wall.

The city ordinance said only one livable dwelling can be on their property, so they just made a massive hallway between their houses.....

Edit: I was able to find the video I took from years ago on my computer when we were on the jobsite scouting it out. My memory wasn't exactly correct but this gives you a good look at what it looked like. The steel structure you see near the end is where the sunroom was going to go. All we were providing was the glass."
