What's your beef with a random boat owner, both of you?
- swed420 2y agoProbably something to do with the typical series of events that unfold before becoming the "owner" of a $128K yacht.
- Gud 2y agoSorry but 128k for a yacht is not a lot of money and should be achievable by anyone who is willing to work hard.
- swed420 2y agoI think you mean to say "is currently achievable by anyone willing to exploit hard" considering most of these people own far more than just the $128K yacht. These acts have lasting repercussions on everybody else in the world, and very rarely ever originate from "hard work."
- Gud 2y agoAre you serious? Many of the people yachting with (fairly midrange) boats are retired professionals with a passion for sailing. Many times people pool their money together.
- swed420 2y agoIt's a good predictor of class, and most in that position exploited their way upward, and/or inherited from those who did so. It's not so much a moral failing as it is a systemic one, because we can rearrange the pieces on the Monopoly board and still get the same predictable rent-seeking behavior.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoI don’t think you ever met real oceanic vagabond. People you see in marinas isn’t them - marinas are super expensive.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoI think you'll find that the vast majority of people who work very hard have no hope at all of affording $128k for a luxury item. Maybe you just mean it's not a lot of money for very well paid people?
