Now now. The authorities clearly have stated violence and mean words are bad when directed at the authorities. Would they lie to us?

Ever been on a cruise ship before? It's like that, except for just one person and their friends/family. The point isn't to get to your destination quickly, the journey itself is half the fun. That's why I always go with the biggest ship I can find with the most on-board amenities. And since everything is included in the upfront cost, it's one of the cheaper vacations you can take.

(Also fuck billionaires and their yachts.)

Being on the water gives a sense of peace and fulfillment that few other hobbies can offer. That's why even poor people do it.

*it's also the most stressful way to relax ever.

**I say the Canadian dream is to own a place that makes it more difficult for you to cook.

At a certain point, everything you could ever want is available, so better things on land is pretty marginal. However, I agree, it seems unnecessary, but so does everything else they do. They literally have more money than they can spend, so why not I guess? Even if they don't use it, they can brag about how big their yacht is to the other billionaires, and I imagine some poorer people would be pretty enticed by it, if that's something they care about.

It’s a status thing. Like most of the crap the billionaires do.

It also has utility thought. It provides a big presence for guests. If you really want to hire someone or do some kinda business deal, you fly them by helicopter to the yacht. Wine and dine em in a floating ballroom. It’d be a lot harder to say no in that kind of space.
