Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).
They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?

Just imagine, these idiots spend 250k to sit in a iron tube controlled by a cheap offbrand playstation controller but won't spend any of their money to improve the world. Only satisfying their own ego and greed. I can't feel sorry for them, best I can do is hope that they imploded so they didn't have to suffer too long.
I'm not really in the business of defending billionaires but I think at least one of them, the guy who brought his son, was involved with charities:
"He works with his family's Dawood Foundation, as well as the SETI Institute - a California-based research organisation which searches for extra-terrestrial life.
"Shahzada is also a supporter of two charities founded by King Charles - the British Asian Trust and the Prince's Trust International."

He sounds (sounded) like a good person.. I do find it interesting that the other billionaires don't have any mentions of charitable works in articles I've read in them.
Every billionaire uses charities.
They're a way to exert control over the money that would normally go to taxes, and be up to the government to spend.
It's not inherently bad, but charity is not quite the saving grace of billionaires that many make it out to be.
