 @caesar @Rhodium103 I haven’t heard of the #orcas attacking small boats. The few reported recently near #Scotland and #Gibraltar were yachts 🛥️, one of which was in a race of VERY expensive playthings of billionaires. 👉 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/orca-rams-into-yacht-near-scotland-behavior-may-be-spreading-180982429/ In any case, the hashtag #TeamOrcas is for shitposting against #WealthInequality and #BigOil fueling the #ClimateCrisis. 5 comments
 @ChemicalEyeGuy @Rhodium103 on the racing yacht, you're right, that's a very different category. Still relatively small compared to billionaires' megayachts, but _very_ expensive. It's the only time I've heard of that, the rest have been small craft. @ChemicalEyeGuy @caesar @Rhodium103 orcas are playful and clever animals. They probably don't attack but want to play. Obviously, rich people are not playful. @pascale #Billionaires like to play with other people’s money - not to mention their lives. “Every billionaire is a policy failure.” - #AlexandriaOcasioCortez #AOC #TeamOrcas |

@ChemicalEyeGuy @Rhodium103 the type of yacht in that picture is worth maybe between €5k to €25k depending on condition and age. I realise not everyone in the world can afford that but it's far from billionaire category. I've lived a subsistence lifestyle aboard such a yacht (home built) my whole life. Most of the sailors I've met with yachts like that are _far_ below median income in their countries or even below the poverty line sometimes. It's unrelated to billionaires' obscene megayachts.
