Does or have a means of giving people a posthumous , I wonder? I suspect Stockton Rush would be high on their list:

> “He definitely knew it was going to end like this [...]" Stanley said. “He was the last person to murder two at once and have them pay for the privilege.”

> “I think Stockton was designing a mousetrap for billionaires,” Stanley added.

The parallels in language between and so so many tech bros are fascinating to me. Not particularly surprising, but fascinating nonetheless.

Stockton Rush claimed that regulations and steps like classing would get in the way of innovation and that his sub could not be tested except by _his_ company. So innovative!

Meanwhile we have manned submersibles that don't even count the depth as a dive for classing purposes because it is so shallow.

Well, there it is. Boeing didn't help design it. They sold Mr Rush old carbon fibre they could no longer use at a substantial discount.
