Why? I'm sure there's an appetite in the market for a company that crushes billionaires.
- Oh there's an appetite, but its hard to disguise them so you can continue.
The employees must be crushed to hear this
- Nah it might be a real weight off their shoulders
  
  A true explosion of joy
- Some were definitely under a lot of pressure
I never understood why someone would deliberately name their company OceanGate
- Well it's kinda work like a gate to the ocean, allowing you into it..
  
  Just maybe, not on a tin sardine can.
I should think so.
I've got a sinking feeling about this
So they didn't find a new CEO within this short timeline I guess?
- None of the candidates could handle the pressure /s
  
  These new employment requirements are getting crazy.
It's a shameful waste of life regardless of who these people were, all because one person didn't want to adhere to the rules. This kind of scenario can apply in and result in tragedy in so many different instances with different types of people. I'd at least hope the other eccentric entrepreneurs learn from this, but I'm not going to expect anything.
Reading this I couldn't help but say aloud: "Yeah, no shit."
"Damn. How disappointing..." - Nobody
Are you telling me… that investors and potential customers… DON’T want to spend money to be imploded thousands of feet below the surface?

God I know nothing about good business.
