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!
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.
Yeah I sold real estate to a couple who was living out of a boat and traveling the world. He was a retired oil engineer, and it made lots of money and could afford to stay around and do nothing his whole life. That’s the point. It’s a position of comfort and personal decision. Just like van life Lmfaoo: rich kids pretending to be vagrant hippies. I spent a lot of time with them as a real vagrant hippie.
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.
Right and I’m talking about how the good wage jobs have slowly disappeared over the last 20 years. I’m talking the devaluation of our currency and inflation of our necessities has not kept up with meager wage growth. They’re gonna offshore your job soon enough or replace you with AI. If you are still in the sailboat owning class, you are a demographic that’s getting more unobtainable to the non sailboat class. You don’t feel like you’re rich, but you were the net beneficiary of all of the subsidies and money printing of your own a house and a 401k.
What ever you feel like brother, we’re in a post constitutional law America. If you feel like the system is going to protect you from the people it hurts then I guess fight the poors, if not idk do anything in your power to fight for democracy and decency? I’m just a casual observer for now, but I’m more focused on the food supply chain than the obvious authoritarianism. Remember during Covid when people were hoarding toilet paper? Overcharging for masks? Idk about you but I’m working on my food production lol
Why would I fight for democracy if the masses see me as their enemy? That’s what I mean. If everyone with more money they you (even wage workers) is the enemy than I guess I have to side with the system that protects me. What other choice do I have? Sacrifice my life for the good of the common people? Who am I? Prometheus?

So what am I supposed to do? Donate my house to the homeless? Or simply buy a gun and get ready to fights the poors when class war begins?
