Look I have no love for billionaire's either, but jesus christ she DROWNED TO DEATH because of the actions of ANOTHER billionare deciding his piece of shitmobile should be super special. Some are blaming her for being in charge OF THIS VERY THING as a woman who caused a lot of regulation to go down, but JAY SUS, I don't want her to drown to death. NO ONE, even Muskrat himself, the guy I 100% blame for this, should ever die that way.
To clarify, yes, I blame Musk. He KNEW why car windows were like this, and said 'but I wanna be cool so no'. His car is shit, and he IS Shit.

Science Fiction is a genre where anything can happen. Just make sure what happens is enjoyable for yourself and your audience.

The trial for this is going to be interesting.

I think it seems at the very least ironic to see the people responsible for slashing regulations die because of the newly lax standards, as if they weren't also going to cost other people their lives.

Thought this was parody at first when I saw it. I'm glad there's one less billionare but I'm worried because my mom drives a Tesla.

AS for the car, it's rolled in to some water and not been found for four hours. Now I'm no fan of Musk or Tesla but in just how many cars would you be fine with that? There have been other cases of cars ending up in water and people drowning - getting out of a submerged car is a lot hard than people think.

So where do you draw the line with that? Because you could apply it to every single person in the world except the one poorest person. Whilst I'm no fan of taking a one extreme or the other as being the only meaningful options point of view I rather suspect a case of "one rule for me, another for people I don't like" here.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 12:40 pmI don't think somebody deserves to die for having money.

Imagine you walk past somebody who is drowning. You choose not to do anything to save them. You let them drown without even acknowledging their cries for help. That would make you a pretty horrible person, right?
A billionaire is somebody who walks past people they could save from drowning without even getting wet, every second of every day, and they get that rich by owning a business pushing people into the water. Every single billionaire is a monster.

No, it couldn't. I don't have the power to help literally everyone. Billionaires do.Riedquat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 10:52 amSo where do you draw the line with that?

I draw the line at not being a billionaire. It's possible to earn a million dollars. The only way you can become a billionaire is by crushing people underfoot.

That would certainly be an appropriate outcome for somebody who's mad max fantasy meant they failed to comprehend the most basic nature of car safety features.

Re: Billionaire drowns in Tesla due to super strong glass
Billionaires don't have the power to help everyones. You probably do have the power to help some people. Billionaires, many more, yes, but most of us can still help a few. Should anyone be expected to go out and look for others to help? There's no obligation to be a saint. Not being an angel doesn't make someone a demon.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 5:34 pm

Being very successful doens't mean crushing people underfoot. Admittedly I can't think of an extremely rich people I've got a particularly good opinion of, but that's mostly from crushing other businesses rather than people, but it's easy enough to find far worse people on the street every day.
