For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?

    Right, and there are also poor people who are really shitty, it’s just that their shittiness has had less of an impact, and definitely not for a lack of trying. Your logic is basically “they’re billionaries so they must have done shitty things”, but even if that’s true, that only means that they did shitty things SUCCESSFULLY. For every one of them, there are thousands of people who tried and failed, but the intentions were no different.

      The billionaire social class shouldn’t exist but not in the same way that poverty shouldn’t exist. For me it’s not about the individual, it’s the subject of their existence.
