Hey now, that money goes to support the families of the people who make shoddy tourist submarines, who then go on to spend that money on groceries and rent and so on, driving the overall economy. The money isn't really "wasted." If it weren't for these submarine tours the money would just remain sitting in rich peoples' wallets doing nothing.
Yes but it could have been spent on infinitely better things. Anyone who has over a million dollars is immoral.
The best new eco funeral option is human composting, let’s hope they had advance directives to support that industry as well!
