The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says one of its agents was driving Gov. Ron DeSantis' vehicle in a motorcade when it was involved in a multi-car accident in Tennessee.
Also something like 800 refugees drowned days before but we instead had to hear nonstop coverage on the handful of rich thrill-seekers (and one of their kids - which is actually terrible) who trusted a cheapskate dipshit Andrew Ryan wannabe who decided to completely disregard decades-long-standardized regulation for stopping head-liquefying amount of pressure at crushing depths of a watery abyss and instead substitute a cheaper lighter material frame for his glorified carnival ride down to gawk at the graves of thousands of poor people who were unable to escape the fate they were forced to suffer under the hubris of yet another rich asshole cheapskate from a hundred years ago.
Far from demanding that his dad spend a quarter mil on it, there were multiple news reports at the time from the boy’s aunt - his father’s sister - that said the kid was terrified and didn’t want to go but the father pressured the rest of the family to allow it.
A month or two ago five rich people died suddenly in a wrinkled chunk of carbon fiber and metal and the world cheered.

It was a billionaires and his son
Yes I’m sure the billionaire’s child was invited.
I’m sure he wasn’t a spoiled shit who demanded his dad also spend a quarter mil on him so he could see the titanic, too.
Of course that is a possibility but that doesn’t mean we should celebrate his death.
It is possible for a spoiled child to grow up and become a decent adult.
I just wish I was as brave as you

EDITED to add that Wikipedia tells a different story, that Suleman Dawood’s dad bought the ticket for his wife but she didn’t want it, which is how Suleman got it, and he was excited to go. Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahzada_Dawood#Titan_expedition_and_death
He sure did.
