I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone’s loss of life isn’t right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it’s morally wrong.

    It’s dark comedy for a tragically comic situation.

    By definition, I’d say all of the jokes are in very poor taste, which is what makes them so funny. The specifics of this particular tragedy practically call out for grim comedy: Safety shmafety, Logitech, Blink 182 getting sucked into the spotlight, etc.

    I do think that all the chatter about the disaster has underscored some critically important points:

    Billionaires are just as stupid as everyone else. They are not exceptional people in any way.

    If you’re not a deep sea oceanography expert of any sort, you should keep your undersea adventures to much shallower waters.

    “Hey Personal Assistant, can you give me the dirt sheet on this submarine company? I’m thinking of visiting the Titanic.” Would have saved lives. Those tickets to an undersea adventure were a quarter of a million dollars per seat. I’ve done better due diligence buying a ukulele online than these halfwits.
