I remember some techie CEO a number of years back who was either going to make everyone’s salary known or make all salaries the same - one or the other; it was another major fail.
Being egalitarian MIGHT have some purpose, running your company is not one of them. Steve Jobs was known to be a very rough CEO, even a bastard some times. His inspiration and egalitarian sense went to what he wanted Apple’s products to do for the customers who bought them, not how he’d run the company. Look at Apple today - market value almost $3 trillion.
Heh, great comment ‘gator.

LOL!
Well we could rescue you Mr Rush but we may not be young and exciting enough.
BTW, he appears to be one of those 50+ boring white guys he would never hire.
” we use a game controller so anybody can drive the sub.”
Thrusting a game controller into the hands of the “driver” does not enable just anyone to “drive” the sub. It means anybody can push the levers on the game controller. It does not give the “driver” the knowledge required to navigate a sub miles under water in the dark.
There are three dimensions to worry about, unlike with a car, where there are only two. Putting untrained people in charge of attempting to navigate in three dimensions in the dark is an irresponsible action.
Post of the day!
👍🤦♂️👌.......................
The fifty year old submariner moron at The Sub Brief goes over what he sees as several single points of failure in the photos and available literature. He also shows the CEO making the statement about old white guys.

Just pull all 50 something white guys from the rescue mission.
“Did this freak just call U.S. Navy submariners a bunch of old, uninspired morons?”
Yep, and he called himself one too. Which means his diversity theory was also uninspiring.
It isn't just that, I sense something just as bad in this statement:
"..."We're taking approaches that are used largely in the aerospace industry, is related to safety and some of the the preponderance of checklists things we do for risk assessments and things like that, that are more aviation related than ocean related 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..."
If a game controller is the best way to provide a control mechanism for the vehicle, I have no problem with that. After all, our multi-billon dollar US Navy subs use a game controller to manipulate their state-of-the-art "periscope" systems now.
But in the context, if they use a game controller because its sole purpose is to facilitate driving by young people who have a greater likelihood of being comfortable and familiar with that type of device, that seems the the tail wagging the dog.
I don't like it. I hope thee people are okay, but it is looking less likely with each passing hour. As stated in the part of the article discussing the lawsuit the dismissed employee who warned "...the system would not reveal flaws until the vessel was descending, and then might only provide "milliseconds" of warning before a catastrophic implosion..." they may have had ONLY milliseconds of warning, and experience would have been useless.
“See the Titanic wreckage with Ocean Gate....it will take your breath away!”
did this freak just call a bunch old old navy Submariners ... Yes he did, and he may be paying for blowing off the best trained and qualified sub sailors in the world. quote “ We can train anybody to operate a submarine with a game controller”... convincing a fool hes a fool is harder than just letting him kill himself.
no comment.
[OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who went missing aboard his Titan submersible vessel along with four other passengers on Sunday, told an interviewer he didn’t want to hire a bunch of “50-year-old white guys” like other submarine companies because he wanted his team to be “inspirational.”]
Well, I’m inspired to certainly never ride on OceanGate.
Well, the $250,000 would be a problem too, LOL.
He made all salaries the same.............
Well, it appears he got what he wanted. Good and hard. Irony can be so... ironic.
Agreed. When I have to fly I always assess the pilots, and grey hair is a good thing to see. One time this pilot looked like he had a rough night. Slightly alarmed I looked closer and relaxed when I saw his Navy Pilot sticker on the luggage.
Well, he may have gotten his wish?
