I definitely think he should. Maybe he can recruit a few more billionaires to prove that it was just a freak accident.

I would like to recommend my e-book, "How to build a totally safe paper-mache deepsea submersible" available on Amazon for free.

A coupon for free discarded Boeing carbon components offered with every copy.

Why for free? Tout yourself as the guru of paper submarines and sell that 130 page book for $99 on your personal site. Make some money off them first.

These are proper subs they would use, not like the hacked together Titan sub. Also, wishing death on people? Really?

Billionaires are partially responsible for every workplace death that occurs due to inadequate safety. It's less wishing death and more vengeful thoughts.

I can despise a class of people without wishing death on them, that's just pathetic honestly.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why?

If they all up and died, and their heirs too, all that absurd wealth would fall back to society where it belongs and would over night end modern day capitalism. All for the low cost of a few hundred morally bankrupt people all over the world, who by all objective measures exhibit parasitic behavior towards everyone else. More people die in car crashes each year.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Because that's just inhuman, regardless of capitalistic failures.

So are the actions that got them all them billions in the first place.

Eye for an eye I say

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The needs of the many...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

They are plotting the death of somewhere between millions and billions of people, via the climate change that they could mitigate at any time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Most on lemmy cheer when billionaires go down, and for good reason. They are parasites leeching on us for far too long

Ah, feel that dopamine hit as you self-righteously chastise someone on the internet in your performative pearl-clutching routine.

You're welcome.

So, where did I wish death on them in my statement? I expressed the idea that he and other billionaires should show the world how it's done properly, and my willingness to assist them in this endeavour (for free even!), such assistance they may or may not want to accept.

I think you have a deep, ugly core that sees things that aren't there, based on your own feelings towards these people, and projects those dark thoughts into the things you read, causing you to lash out at innocent strangers on the internet.

You should really do some self-examination at the evil inside you, perhaps some therapy would help. I hope the best for you, good luck!

We're not wishing death on them, just looking forward to reading their obituary with great pleasure.

Paper mache! Ooh wee sign me up. /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I agree but I have a little paperwork for him to sign first, and we'll need someone other than me to witness it. Some silly rule about beneficiaries.
