I hope they’re rescued. I hope that 19 year old kid gets to see the sun again. I hope the old rich men who may have died for a quarter of a million dollars come out of that death trap ready to dissolve their assets and redistribute their wealth and retire penniless to life as nomadic hermits in the woods.

hey you guys know that even if the people inside that submersible are rich billionaires, dying in that metal tube at the bottom of the ocean is a horrific way to die right. like. yeah stupid choices were made by the people in there signing off on a waiver that says the sub is not approved by anyone and they could die. but it’s the fault of OceanGate for knowingly putting people into a Home Depot DIY sub rigged up with an Xbox controller all to make a profit on people’s curiosity.

#ra speaks #oceangate #sorry it makes me sick thinking about that kid. was he tagging along or did he beg his dad to let him come too?#I hate hate hate that people are talking about how ‘poetic’ it is like #this isn’t a story. there isn’t poetry or foils or narrative weight. real life doesn’t have those things. it just has tragedies.#listen to me. I grew up on WIC and shut off water. I hate billionaires as much as the next person barely scraping by in this hellscape.#but those are people. people who may still be alive and waiting and terrified. who will be traumatized by this if they survive.#this is not us waiting with bated breath for Lizzie to kick the bucket after decades of actively making things worse for a lot of ppl #this is waiting to see if people who should have never been in that situation to begin with can be saved #this is gross corporate negligence endangering not only the lives of the tourists #but also every employee and coast guard member searching for them (the ocean is always dangerous. good equipment or intentionally shitty)#I just. he’s 19. my brother is 19. no one deserves to die like that.#poetic…jfc y’all get a grip and be normal about real people and real tragedies I’m begging you
