    I don’t know who you consider a rich fuck but a yacht like this cost maybe $70k. It’s not much different than owning a car.

      Shit, I hadn’t thought of that, the poor, poor people who can afford $70,000 recreation craft. Won’t someone think of the sailboat owners.

        Where do you draw the line? Who do you consider a “rich fuck”? I know a carpenter who restored an ultra light airplane. This rich fuck better watch out when the class war comes!

          If you’re not living in a tent in a public park then you don’t deserve to live.

          And people wonder why everyone hates leftists.

      Yes it’s just like owning a car! Which we primarily use to get to work and earn money to pay for the car!!! What do you do in a boat??? Oh ya!!! Not working and scoot around all day. Must be nice!

        What do you do in a boat???

        A boat like this one? You fuckin’ live in it instead of a house (and at a much lower cost).

        I mean, not this exact one from the article because it was a rental, but in general a lot of yachts in this ~40’ range are owned by couples and used for the nautical equivalent of #vanlife.

        Lot’s of people have hobby cars. I don’t own a second car or a boat but I don’t consider everyone who has one rich. Those people still go to work every day and save for retirement. We’re talking about good wage job, not being a millionaire.

      The initial cost of a boat is like 1% of what the person ends up spending to maintain it.

      There is a reason why people say that boats are, “a hole in the water to throw your money into”

      The real class war will be between people who ate yesterday and people who did not eat yesterday. I’m pretty sure there’s some food on that boat.

        I ate yesterday. You’re saying I’m in the same boat (pun intended) as Bezos?
