@rsherman24 said it best on the vherf last night. Look at how much google is worth as a company…but they don’t charge people a thing. They charge companies for the information they gather on you.
I couldn’t get the link to post for some reason. It makes sense that this would be coming out of California since they’re fighting to destroy the country’s pork industry. Looks like it is approved for restaurants first. The big thing I can’t find is whether or not it has to be disclosed whether you’re eating real meat or a lab experiment.

According to Weissman, Rush had bought the carbon fiber used to make the Titan "at a big discount from Boeing," because "it was past its shelf life for use in airplanes."
In other words, Rush knew that the carbon fiber — which is a very poor choice of material for a deepsea vessel, as many experts have pointed out — already potentially had flaws that could've played a role in the Titan's tragic demise.

I just don't understand why a man would cut corners on a project when lives could hang in the balance. Bravado? Arrogance? Ignorance? Just sheer stupidity? I suppose it could be any of those and more, likely a mix of things. Whatever it was, it cost people lives and loved ones.

Just looked and I was wrong, there were three paying customers, according to this web site:
"Each of the three passengers that purchased a ticket to board the Titan paid $250,000, for a total of $750,000. "
