Here’s a personal finance tip: Don’t buy a yacht, or any boat, like, ever. If you really want one and have the money, just rent one, these thing costs a ridiculous amount of money to maintain for something that’s going to be used like once or twice a year at most.

    And have their insurance buy them a new one?

    CADmonkey ,

    Sink that one too. Until such vessels are uninsurable.

    lud ,

    It would still cost them a lot.

    Insurance companies are not exactly in the charity business.

    All billionaires are ethically in the wrong.

    PM_ME_FEET_PICS ,

    Not really but this one in particular is the Michael Jordan of drunk driving and I believe got away with manslaughter.

    Nalivai , (edited )

    Yes, really. There are no ethically sound reasons for a person to have all this money when there is so much inequality. Moreover, there is no ethical ways to accumulate all this money. If you are billionaire either you or your daddy had to do a lot of explicitly unethical shit, and in order to retain it, you have to do unethical shit, actively, right now.

    Illuminostro ,

    Capitalism, no matter how benign, and well intended, is literally exploiting labor from those who are lesss fortunate. And thanks to that malignant leprechaun Milton Friedman, every MBA since thinks that they’re legally bound to maximize dividends for investors instead of compensating the people who do the actual production. It’s obscene, sociopathic, and literally evil. But if Jeebus didn’t want them to rich, they wouldn’t be, right?

    Jealousy becomes vandalism?

    I wonder how they feel good themselves if people from Africa came and vandalised their house and say rich people should exist

    TheKarion ,

    Very good point

    There’s a difference between working class and a billionaire that exploits millions of workers.

    Franzia ,

    I believe these activists have probably had empathy for the global poor. This walmart bitch creates the global poor.

    Pussydogger ,

    They are free to give up their “wealthy” Spanish life and go help those “poor” people get rich.

    More action less talk.

    Franzia ,

    The billionaires are literally the reason everyone else is poor. They use that wealth and power to keep wages stagnant and neo-colonialism and neo-slavery churning.

    Pussydogger ,

    Divide the wealth of the billionaire and the number of poor people and see how much they each get

    Franzia ,

    It’s how they use their power of capital, not the actual dollar amount. They have the decision making power above all the rest of us. They are deciding to create a deeply unfair and violent world.

    What does Africa have to do with this, weren’t the activists from Spain? 🧐

    Pussydogger ,

    Comparison. These billionaire compare to average Spaniards are filthy rich.

    These Spaniards are filthy rich compare the most people in African.

    I doubt the action came out of “care”, more out of jealousy.

    zbyte64 ,
    @zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I doubt the action came out of “care”, more out of jealousy.

    So they’re acting like billionaires?

    Pussydogger ,

    not sure if the billionaire are jealous or not.

    The protest going around vandalising property to make their point is definitely an action from jealously.

    People have vote with their money to shop at Walmart.

    zbyte64 ,
    @zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Billionaires don’t get jealous? I guess I meant greed.

    Pussydogger ,

    Some are, some not. Hard to judge.

    Everyone expects others to give what they have away like a river flowing downstream.

    zbyte64 , (edited )
    @zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Show me a billionaire that isn’t motivated by greed. Seriously, I’ll wait.

    But honestly, how is it you can know the motivations of a protestor and most other people but not whether a billionaire is greedy?

    Pussydogger ,

    Billionaire who don’t want attention are not going to be parading around.

    People who want attention does

    More mandatory overtime for her staff. She’ll never know it happened unless one of her social media managers sees it on Twitter and mentions it to her.

    Kerred ,

    And then they buy more red spray paint on Amazon because Walmart was out .

    Side note, didn’t the movie company make bank from people buying those V for Vendetta masks to protest against corporations or something? Vague memory of it

    tinkeringidiot ,

    Yeah, between Anonymous and Occupy Wall Street those masks were very profitable for the people being protested against.

    I’m sure their brief and ultimately pointless unpopularity was well compensated for by those extra revenues.

    Mamertine ,

    That’s what I don’t get.

    The owner of the yacht doesn’t give a shit. It’s beneath them.

    Those activists just made a headache for the working class crew who run the yacht.

    Good work sticking it to the man’s working class employees! /S

    flow_off_a_cliff ,

    They got their message on international news, and they did it targeting the super wealthy instead of blocking traffic or otherwise hindering innocent people. Frankly I don’t care if the crew has a ‘headache’ being paid to clean up some biodegradable paint, they’re just being paid for one task instead of another. What actual harm of any kind has this done? The benefit might be small but it’s nonzero unlike what most of us are doing.

    Reminds me that the point of protest is to be disruptive. Oh, you’re blocked on your way to do your job? Your job is to do your job, not to fight other workers on behalf of your employer

    I don’t get the whole ‘protest should not ever inconvenience anyone, ever’ line of thinking- if I’m travelling for work and I get stuck in traffic behind a protest, I bill my time and that’s how I pass the disruption signal along to where it needs to land

    the_stormcrow ,

    Because targeted vandalism is easier and more satisfying to animalistic urges than the long work of organizing political backing, running for office, enacting societal change

    cactus ,

    Mate people have been trying all that since the 70s and it didn’t achieve much

    They’re creating jobs by fucking up the yacht aren’t they?

    Or is it only billionaires that “create jobs” when they fuck up the entire world?

    BonesOfTheMoon ,

    I love it. God bless us every one.

    IHaveTwoCows ,

    Oh noes

    phoenixz ,

    Governments should stop billionaires. Tax them 100% income tax after a certain amount of income, tax them 50%% of their networth yearly after a certain amount of value.

    BedSharkPal ,

    The government is now controlled, more or less, by said billionaires - too late?

    pickman_model ,

    Nah, there’s more to tinker with, but fixable.

    Karyoplasma ,

    Your post makes it sound like it was any different in the past. I certainly don’t remember that.

    ParsnipWitch ,

    I don’t think there ever was a time where not the richest were in power. From warlords to kings and now politicians in the pockets of CEO’s or shareholders by extension, people in power amass riches and with it more power.
