They'll bring back airships at this rate.
That seems so clown world, as a guy I don't think I've ever thought that X thing is inspirational because it is done by a young guy.
Honestly, that is something I would expect from a woman.
So in a sense he's right. Men don't give a shit. Just get the job done. But that doesn't help them signal virtue.
What's funny is that he hired 95% white guys. The other 5% are white women.
And who started this nonsense about younger people not being able to be inspired by older people?
Zoomers. The "OK Boomer" meme was an early manifestation.
Kids are being trained to resent their elders. It's part of the globohomo commie faggots plan to have their own queer version of Mao's Great Leap Forward by weaponizing children through education.
I'm sure the "justifiable" reasons were totally organic how you came to them in the past and not part of the same training being done, just in a different decade.
Boomers are basically adult children themselves, just manifested less severely than millennials. They grew up in a Swiss watch economy designed to be the best in the world and just assumed that things would keep going fine no matter how much waste and malevolence happened under their watch.
A lot of them still think like that. I'm amazed every time a conservative boomer says Trump lost the last election or that he's "on Twitter too much." And these are the same people that love to tell younger people that they "don't know how the world works."
Very good, you've believed something you were told that made sense after you were told it and assimilated it into your framework for why things are like they are, and are now reacting defensively to the notion that you were taught that idea for a reason instead of being super smart.
Something being true, partially or fully, doesn't discount that it was knowledge given to you for a purpose.
Every single one of the 65 million boomers currently alive are responsible for the current state of the world, not the small cabal of power brokers whose successors believe the exact same shut.
Duh.
Baby boomers were called the "Me Generation" decades ago. As a cohort, Boomers have always been this way. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're still selfish now that they're old farts.
Struggle sessions.
You know, I think it’s partly about not wanting to pay for expertise/experience…
As in, this guy was cost-cutting everywhere he could, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the real reason he wanted 25-year-olds instead of experienced ex-Navy techs and the like…
They're apparently saying they got less than 20 hours before they all suffercate and die in there...
I feel like this is an ad for 'racism' and why more workplaces require it.
Well, hopefully they are making sure there is enough diversity on the rescue team too. That's the important thing.
The more white and male the workplace is the better the work environment in my experience.
Can attest.
Which, in turn, was code for "we're too cheap to pay the going price for a highly qualified 50 year old. We'll go to the dollar store and get a cheap pilot."
Same way the thing was constructed, apparently.
My point exactly. This ^^ is the real reason, I’m sure…
As someone who read a lot of Robert D Ballard books regarding his explorations and whatnot as a kid(and all the risk involved), just seeing this clusterfuck makes my balls retreat into my torso.
Anyone whom would willingly get into that coffin deserves what they got.
I don't think anyone actually qualified to pilot that death trap would be willing to at any price.
For anybody that didn't see this story yesterday -

MUST READ!!
Did you forget that it's not a toy, and there are 5 lives at stake whenever you fill that thing and put it at the bottom of the ocean?
Being inspirational doesn't mean young and inexperienced.
But I guess accidentally murdering 5 people is inspirational.
In my experience when they don't want to hire experienced knowledgeable engineers because they will push back and tell them why their ideas are unsafe or stupid. Younger engineers will happily follow along when it's someone else's decision.
This isn't the first time this kind of thing has lead to deaths. Remember that university where the footbridge failed and killed several people on, and under, it shortly after it was constructed?
Diversity hire engineer for the University.
The rest of it was people cutting corners and embezzling funds.
Fundamentally, the DIE hires are also just an embezzlement scheme.
Five men and a woman died. Guess who got a statue.
Fuck, we really give theimp too hard a time.
He deserves it. It doesn't make me unsympathetic, though.
This happened with a new, all-glass atrium build at a University in Australia, too (Curtin University in Perth), in 2021…
“Only” killed one construction worker, and injured several others, though, but the same principle applies…
This company did not run enough weapons grade idiots through the system to find the problems that "very intelligent, motivated, younger individuals" (see mid twenties midwits) obviously missed.
DIEversity strikes again.
"We wanted our 'water coffins' to kill as many white people as possible, thus we hired exclusively muslims and blacks to build them for us."
I see you chose the progressive door...
Show them what they won!!!!!
Shouldn't it read "which was operating the missing Titanic tourist submarine"?
Rest in piss

I was waiting for this to be mentioned/crop up, haha!
Yes, what a disaster…
But fits with everything else that makes it clear what an absolute fucking moron this guy is/was, tbh…
