    It looks like the boat belonged to some sort of sailing cooperative meant for people who can’t afford their own boat.

    At least that’s what comes up when you search for the owners of the boat that are referenced in the article.

        There’s a big difference between rich and being middle class, and if you have to pay into a cooperative to afford the experience of sailing, you’re not rich.

        Do you think anyone earning above poverty wages deserves bad things to happen?

        I take it, you have no empathy then for construction workers or unionized skilled laborers.

            Union construction workers and skilled laborers/tradesmen e.g. electricians, plumbers, etc., in America regularly make six figures, I imagine it’s not too different in Western Europe.

            And how many blue collar workers like that do you know? Because the ones that I know all have what you apparently consider exclusively wealthy hobbies, such as boating.

            You just looked at the picture, didn’t read the article, much less follow up on details in the article, and now you’re spinning your wheels trying to paint middle class workers in sailing cooperative as ultra wealthy.

                You labeled these them as being rich assholes who deserve whatever bad things that happened to them.

                My electrician and construction worker friends will be so elated to hear that they’ve joined the ranks of Elon Musk, and every asshole hedge fund manager.

                Would you mind creating a list of class-appropriate hobbies that they can partake in?

                I want to make sure that if they get injured or killed doing one of their hobbies, that they won’t posthumously smeared as class traitors who deserved it.
