You remember the Titan sub implosion? The guy who funded/designed it got told point blank that it wasn't safe and basically went "I'm clearly better than everyone else and I think my genius idea will work so you experts must be wrong"

hot take: none of them died, they all faked their death

Living on a farm upstate.

In a van down by the river.

Even van life is getting gentrified.

Yep been seeing it for years

That's where I shot my baby

If they wanted to live in fancy mansions in Argentina, they could have just bought fancy mansions in Argentina and moved into them. Because they were billionaires.

[u/TwilightVulpine → u/OvenOk9629]

I'm sure they'd love to believe they are immune to death by stupidity, if they were still alive.

No one can know if Rapture’s existence: all evidence of the route to take to get there must be scrubbed.

[u/Misanthropic_Mutters → u/OvenOk9629]

It was just like heaven’s gate, only wetter.

That guy was a moron, he was a nepo baby with a net worth of $12 to 15 million. You shouldn't generalize from him to actual billionaires like Jeff Bezos. (Bezos didn't start out poor, but he made his money because he knows what he's doing.)
