Butters Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I can kind of understand the psyche of the billionaire that would willingly put themselves at risk for novelty. imagine you spend the years of your life vacationing in every part of the world at a whim, eating every kind of food, buying everything you could ever want, trying every drug that exists and not getting in trouble, having all the sex, like... I can see why they start putting themselves in potentially dangerous spots. the others probably end up at epsteins island 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like cave exploration, diving to the asscrack of the ocean, sky gliding, etc. Some of these are NOT affordable hobbies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottageHore Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 So what I’m hearing is obscene wealth is dangerous for EVERYBODY? Even the obscenely wealthy? I feel horrible for their families, but the men in that submarine got themselves into this. They absolutely had no reason to go down there.

Its not if used correctly - The Weeknd, Rihanna & Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Logic, Travis Scott - all of them opened up a buch of initiatives and businesses in their hometowns/countries, gave fans scholarships and jobs etc. Some of our biggest favs do incredible work with their wealth.

People say **** like this all the time but thats because theres obviously a larger use of cars in the world. We aren't all travelling by air daily/regularly. Theres less risk cause theres not tens of thousands of planes flying everywhere everyday in the same vicinity. And heights aren't just planes: I'm also talking about climbing mountains, bungee jumping, paragliding, hot air balloons and all these things. Theres just too much risk if something goes wrong.

Working class or poorer (correct me if I'm wrong). They have experience with struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
