From the CNN website:
It’s A Turd, It’s A Pain…It’s Superyacht
Hidden costs? This is very, very far down on my list of reasons for not owning a superyacht. Or it would be if I had ever given even the slightest thought to making a fucking list of reasons to not own a fucking superyacht. Like 99% of Americans, the obvious costs were sufficient to turn me off to even owning a crappy yacht. I didn’t even know that ‘superyacht’ was not two words. Why the fuck not? Actually, I had never heard of a superyacht. I guess I’ve been running with the wrong crowd.
I admit that I did not read a single word of
this patently ridiculous article. Would you? Would anyone you know? How many
people do you imagine did read this, and how much do you want to bet that they
pay less in taxes than you do, even though you could never even imagine owning
one or more superyachts even if you and everyone you know chipped in?
Maybe you heard
about Jeff Bezos having a $1.2 billion yacht built, with a smaller yacht that will shadow the main yacht to accommodate his
helicopter. Maybe you also heard that Bezos paid no federal taxes. Maybe this
is why nearly 100,000 people have signed a petition demanding Bezos not bother
returning to Earth once he makes it into space. Put me down as a yes.
Thanks, CNN.
This has been your Paying Attention Thought
For The Day.
Sail on sailor.
What is your thought
for the day?
