this is a very weird first comment to make and the subsequent comments neither look productive nor particularly on topic. let's save the thirsting for rich people blood for a topic where it's more warranted folks, please and thanks.

Regardless of one's opinion the super rich, the thing also has crew that are just there because they're paid to operate the thing, I doubt they make enough to buy tickets for this kind of thing themselves.

Hey now, that money goes to support the families of the people who make shoddy tourist submarines, who then go on to spend that money on groceries and rent and so on, driving the overall economy. The money isn't really "wasted." If it weren't for these submarine tours the money would just remain sitting in rich peoples' wallets doing nothing.

Ooooor, you know, don't let these people die (and definitely don't enjoy it, wtf), AND fix the medical and housing systems so a similar amount of effort goes toward making sure everyone else also doesn't die. Letting some rich people die doesn't make any poor people less dead.

Come in if you had the money and were bored you’d totally do it. Maybe even go for the premium extended package they got, with the full sinking-to-your-death experience
