Somebody simply has to write the ultimate catch-all essay on disruptive, libertarian, private-sector-touting entrepreneurs simply begging and demanding for state intervention at the end of their journeys. (This is the Titan sub company's adviser.) pic.twitter.com/dsB9YLln8w

From news reports I understand the Coast Guard doesn’t have equipment capable of going as deep as the submersible presumably is. I also understand they don’t know where the submersible is. The Navy has equipment which might be used to recover the ship, but even that isn’t guaranteed.Also breathtaking is the lack of respect for the efforts gov't *is* making to find these ingrates' passengers. The Coast Guard didn't say, "You made your bed, lie in it." It's busting its ass to save your private-enterprise heinies. But you still can't bear to give it any credit.

And contacting the government by email? Demanding they respond by email? (I’m assuming he tried this on Monday. A federal holiday. Again: email? Seriously?) As if they were customer service? Who is this dick?
Let me guess that he's an Ayn Randian, the woman who was such a terrible writer and idiot that she made one of her Randian heroes an entrepreneur against the government create a rail road, a means of transport which was in most need of government intervention AGAINST PRIVATE OWNERSHIP to even ever exist anywhere. The same for every other form of transport including anything that would depend on port facilities. And now this moron is whining that the government can't come to rescue people he put at risk. They are beneath contempt, they shouldn't be allowed to ever do anything but put Legos together.
