    And everyone has a $70k car, right?

    The people in here defending private sailboats like it’s something anyone can do is insane.

    Yeah let me just go out and drop $70k on a thing I use a few times a year in the water. Nothing rich-person about that…

      I think it’s less about acting like it’s something anyone can do, and more about acting like it’s something people who aren’t ultrawealthy can do.

      Having wealth isn’t inherently bad. It’s the distribution of wealth that has fucked our system.
