I don't know. I get the sentiment against anyone who hoards wealth and/or earns it off of the suffering/exploitation of others. Thing is, in the aviation world, my job is to stop shit engineering like that from ever being allowed to carry passengers. I've recently learned my analog doesn't exist in the nautical world. I'm also aware that among those passengers was a 19 year old kid and a Titanic researched. The CEO was made aware of the vessel's shortcomings and was convinced he knew better. In the end, he dies from his own hubris and takes four people with him.
Also, that 19 year old didn't quite want to go there, he just wanted his dad to be happy.

Or its proof that rich people shouldn't be allowed to have children.
Maybe if some brainrotted idiots stopped screeching "b-b-b-but I don't want no nANnY stATe" they might recognise why regulations are important, and why they're said to be written in blood.
It makes for a good case study looking forward, which hopefully will save lives from people attempting the same thing. Additionally, you already know folks in the aviation world wrote the pilot checklists in blood. It's an unfortunate fact that souls have to be lost before a regulation or rule gets put into place to prevent it from happening in that exact way again, but this is part of why flying is so safe these days!
You don't even have to go back very far. Look at the 737 Max. Boeing fudged the training requirements and allowed purchasers to cheap out on the safety gear and killed 346 people.
A friend of mine, who's much more knowledgeable in these regulatory issues, filled me in somewhat. I guess, to make it work, it will require a high level of international cooperation. Frustrating because I've been in meetings with CEOs like that, but I've had the delegated authority to enforce proper design practices. All anyone could do with him was plead with him to see reason before he gets someone killed.
The kid is the only person in that situation I felt any pity for.
