OceanGate, a deep-sea adventure company, is listing two missions to the Titanic shipwreck in June 2024.

….yeah, something tells me there won’t be too many takers for those.

    Once when driving through Pakistan, I stopped at Ghotki, the last town in Sindh before Punjab, and home of a major Engro Chemicals plant. Shahzada (translates to Prince) Dawood, heir of Dawood Hercules, and VC of their subsidiary Engro Corp was on the Titan.

    Let me tell you the absolute desolation and squalor in Ghotki and the surrounding area and the world of difference in the gated community is dizzying. Like you go from stick think barefoot kids running around with tires propelled by sticks with garbage burning in the unpaved street to brick paved streets with kids racing electric scooters munching on KFC which doesn’t even charge the residents of the community but is payed for by the company.
