  Like, shoot me if I ever give that much of a fuck about how people spend their money,

  Humanity is on the verge of extinction due to climate change, you should perhaps start to care about how people spend their money, a megayacht burn 1000 gallons of fuel in an hour.

    Still a drop in the ocean compared to any of the actual needle-movers, I truly could not care less.

    It’s one guy using one yacht and having others parked, and even if he rented them out it’s next to nothing compared to much more wide ranging systemic issues going unchecked.

    I’ll keep worrying about the real issues, you can keep obsessing over celebrity gossip.

        He owns multiple megayatchts

        Still a single person, still can’t use them all at once.

        and now a company that make these

        You understand that the clientele of a megayacht shipyard is very limited, right? This is a non-issue.

        Let’s focus on real issues, like the move to nuclear, or finding better ways to do metallurgy than exporting all of it to the third world where health and pollution regulations don’t apply, as if it’s not the same atmosphere we’re polluting, shall we?

        Luxury purchases only a handful of people can even afford is really the bottommost thing on the list, short of regulating how much you’re allowed to eat beans to reduce your methane output.
