If I am flying in a plane, cruising on a ship, or diving in a submersible, or having a liver transplant, I wasn’t someone with gray hair who has lots of experience.

Period. And I don’t give a crap if they aren’t bubbly and cheerful, as long as they are expert and competent.

It is more about appearance than it is safety. I would never have given this guy a dime for that ride.

Basically, yes.

Watch the video, if you can.

This was a homebuilt sub, not certified by any government or agency................

From wiki:

“Rush noted “In the last 35 years, there hasn’t been a serious injury [aboard a submersible], and there have been over 15 million people going [underwater] ... Statistically, [submersibles are] the safest vehicles on the planet.”

Does 5 people shittin’ their collective pants at 2.5 miles deep in the ocean qualify as a “serious injury” I wonder?

Well, it appears this 50 year old white guy CEO “de-hired” himself. I wonder how successful his virtue signaling to the Creator will turn out?

Is the submersible also lined with Pride flags on the inside ? Well in however many hours of lucid thinking he has remaining I hope he is congratulating himself.

... and we can train people to do that. We can train someone to pilot the sub, we use a game controller so anybody can drive the sub."

I'm OK with the CEO being on board... still hope they're rescued...

No, he did not say they were "uninispired".

He said they are "uninspiring".

Words mean things, and careful reading is important.

This guy suffered from the delusion that only young people can inspire other young people to enter some field of endeavor. It's a stupid and dangerous mentality: it places style over substance, and rejects experience in favor of appearance.
