In the USA, 144,540 people are employed in the shipbuilding business. I don’t know what the split is between the recreational ships and commercial ones, but the mean annual pay for the bottom 90% of those workers is $45k. Like any industry there are niches and exceptions. 

I know, right? Someone spending a hundred million on a Picasso is just one billionaire paying another. A yacht is millions of man-hours that are being paid for, followed by a small business that can have as many as fifty full-time employees plus any additional subcontractors used for major maintenance and repair. 

I wonder how many jobs the construction, maintenance, and operation of these yachts create? I mean, some company is getting the hundreds of millions they pay right? I guess they could just sit on the cash instead...

We have superyachts docking here quite frequently and in a location where you can actually get pretty close to them - though nowhere near onboard.

They dock at private slips with professional security. And if you can afford a megayacht, you can afford to embark and disembark via helicopter when it’s already at sea. Only the poors actually walk off their yachts, ugh.

lol, it’s probably a covert effort to abandon Palestinians outside the country - “Sorry bro, says here your passport has been revoked so no way we can let back you into Israel”

Wait.. who is trying to do the right thing?

What’s the big deal you say?  Well, to put it in terms you might understand better; think of The Brady Bunch.  Now picture Papa Mike Brady deciding to get naked and sweaty with Cindy and knock her up; twice.

McDonalds sold off their stuff to the new brand but the new brand doesn’t have access to McDonalds supply chain so it’s not the same food at all.

The guy he chased in that incident both forgave him and endorsed him. But hey, nurse your grudge. 

Stock image is both cursed and perfect.

That thumbnail is absolute perfection.

Whatever it takes. lol

So you’re threatening to open mouth kiss them if the don’t make it?  :)

Ho...ly...shit balls! I will open mouth kiss anyone I have to, at Hyundai, if it’ll help make this car a production reality.

There’s a reason why it reminds you of the DeLorean

Yes, Armco barriers are really a thing. You know the steel guard rail on posts on the highway? That’s an Armco barrier. On a track they’re usually stacked to make a more significant barrier, though it’s a somewhat dated one that doesn’t usually appear on FIA Grade 1 tracks because there are better options.

And we haven’t even touched on how the emblem is the Game Cube’s, swapping its negative-space G for a P. Or how the controller is a Dollar Store Dual Sense with the trackpad fallen off.
