I interviewed Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer on his once-more-revived plan to build Titanic II, a functional and historically accurate replica of the original ship. He now says it will be a “vaccine-free environment.”

Polio in the Turkish Baths, measles and varicella will happen on their own, he’s providing period attire so maybe favus in that, and bedbugs for being assholes. The murders will begin on day 2 of no wifi or screens for hundreds of people who don’t read and are starting to come down with norovirus.

We’re not the billionaires, overkill is for the rich.
Titanic 2 sinks due to exterminatus. Inquisitor heard saying "it ran into a sickberg. Killing everyone on board was a mercy."
The fact that he's an asshole is no reason to waste ammunition.

Big booms are satisfying. Bigger booms more so.
An ADCAP makes a very, very big boom. And you're guaranteed to snap the ship in half, just like the original!

I was going to say "double tap," but that's also a good point.

ADCAPs are pretty good, no need to waste ordinance

Well thanks to climate change probably won't be any icebergs by time it's built so he needs to find another way to kill the passengers.

I had norovirus like 8 years ago and this is too soon for me

I once shared a vacation home where someone came down with Norovirus the day after they arrived. I was one of the few who managed to avoid catching it. I sympathize.

One Christmas, my cousin said her son wasn’t feeling well. He was in preschool, of course he had a runny nose or whatever, they’re snot machines. WTF WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! YOU NEED TO DISCLOSE THIS! Luckily, my mom’s house had two bathrooms. My other cousins were sharing a hotel room. I just…

That IS the traditional way for cruise ships to fuck up their passengers.

This is all I think of when I think of cruise ships. People with their poopy hands spreading norovirus at the buffet. They can all get measles while projectile expelling at both ends. Sounds like a good start.

This is where Freddy takes me in my own personal "Nightmare on Elm Street". A large cruise ship buffet.

Considering the “vaccine free” status, there are a number of candidates for how he will turn this version of the titanic into a coffin for its passengers & crew.

you know his wife gaslit him into doing this just so she wouldn't have to spend time with him

She's already bought him his ticket on the inaugural trip, and made sure his life insurance covers "boating accidents".

i can't bring myself to read it, but did his wife write that article in the cut by chance...

“My wife wants me to spend more time her and the family, but I have limited time, I am not going to live forever.” — Yes, you have limited time, you must choose how to spend it, so you probably want to enjoy time with the people you lo-, hey where are you going mumbling about “Titanic?” 😳

Imagine being rich and wanting to do something positive before you die and *this* is what you come up with. Incredibly bleak.

For most people, a life goal of "doing something positive" doesn't include disease testing. Darwinism in action.

All these rich assholes want to “do something positive,” by which they mean have their own spaceship or titanic or RFK jr Super Bowl ad or stadium named after them, but God forbid they or their companies pay taxes! No, that’s why they’re headquartered in Ireland or the Bahamas or whatever.

saying out loud "I've got the money" and then choosing anything other than ending homelessness

Clive has always been about Clive. He would tell you 99.9% of homeless choose to be homeless

"doing something positive" 😑
I mean if a bunch of ultra wealthy perish from comunicable diseases (like measles, or the flu, or norovirus) because they deny basic science It sort of is something positive?

That's not funny enough. The Titanic 2 needs to sink also.
I fully expect themselves to OceanGate themselves

That's dark, Brooke. Not disagreeing with you. Just noting that it's dark.
