>> Yes, when you get finished with China,
glasses, towels, and sheets and things like that, you've spent more than $1 million. I have a joke,
if the rest of the world learns what it's like to live on a yacht like this,
they're gonna bring back the guillotine. >> If they find out that we have ungodly wealth,
we live lives beyond the wildest dreams of the emperors of old, the peasants might rise up.
Anyway, that is not a new clip, let's just be clear about that, it's from a documentary called
Mega Yachts. The latest craze for billionaires, which I believe came out in 2020 but thankfully
the subreddit, late stage capitalism is spreading it once again. Because while the super yachts were
the latest craze back when the documentary came out, they're becoming even more common these days.
In fact, like the supply chain issues that are affecting so many people,
it's affecting the wealthy too, there's actually a supply crunch and cruz shortage for creating
super yachts. A record 1,024 super yachts, were in construction or on order I believe
this is as of late last year, it was up a quarter from just one year prior.
This is in the midst of the pandemic, like gas prices are surging people are losing their homes
and if you're rich, the biggest issue you have is I have to wait until next spring to get my
super yacht. With a super yacht being defined in this case as anything from $2 to $3 million,
maybe up to $500 million dollars depending on their size and complexity.
And if people ever find out about this Sabrina, they might want the guillotine
to come back, what do you think? >> The fact that he is aware that
if people knew how he was living, that it would just amaze them, I just despise him. I do not
care for billionaires, billionaires should not exist, billionaires are a policy failure.
But yeah, the fact that his biggest concern is that he's not gonna have
the workers to run the ship that just goes to show labor control so much of the world,
workers have so much power. And the thing is like a lot of workers like don't really know it.
So that's why we should continue to advocate for unionization as we see a union application spike
this year and hopefully those numbers continue to grow because workers control so much. And we have
more power than we think if we bend together. >> Yeah, if only by pure manpower.
I was reading a story about one of the Russian oligarchs yachts
and it was wildly overpriced was like $300 millionand and it said it had accommodations
for 14 guests and 28 crew. You outnumber them 2 to 1 man,
that's your yacht, you just don't know it yet, I'm kidding, obviously don't do that.
But, yeah, no, like we're suffering and were kept distracted by, ike did you know, there's trends,
people. And meanwhile the total yacht length of super yachts scheduled to be delivered by 2026
would stretch 24 miles long.
24 straight miles of some of the most overpriced water palaces ever created.
And why? Because they largely don't have, they literally can't find things to spend money on,
like there's just not enough to spend money on.
And they wanna have some of the most joyless parties ever. Like did you see that footage?
Did they seem 1000 times happier than you at your get togethers?
Did they seem 20% happier than you? I went to a party at Brett Ehrlich's house
and I had a bacon wrapped hot dog and I was enjoying my life more than that
millionaire with his fancy China. I guarantee it.
