So let’s see.....we’re seizing people’s private property now despite there not even being a credible allegation of any illegal conduct on their part, but simply because of their nationality? Furthermore, we do so without any court order.
To anybody who is OK with this, how long do you think it will be before the Establishment uses this lawless seizure of property against anybody who opposes it (pssst, this means you)?
All depends on how one wears the hate hat.
Russia invaded Ukraine...just a reminder.
Good points. Who will buy them?
Bezos made his business from nothing - thirty years ago he started his business in, of course, a garage. He is an extremely smart guy.
This is typical of the tech billionaires, and even Warren Buffet. In most ways the Chinese billionaires like Jack Ma did it the same way, they built a buisiness that succeeded wildly, by exploiting new tech more successfully than their competitors. This is the same thing that Henry Ford did, that Andrew Carnegie did.
You can argue that in becoming so successful some of them have become monopolists. This is IMHO true.
The Russians however became rich because they effectively received a land grant from their king, an exclusive right to exploit oil reserves somewhere, or bauxite, or timber. They are semi-independent agents of the state.
From what I have read, there are no windows since it would weaken the hull strength necessary to support the weight of those stupid sail masts.
Yes...looks like a fortified “yacht”.
Won’t happen. You’d have to sieze many congresscritters’ and senators’ stuff, too.
Truckers invaded Ottawa - just a reminder.
The deepstate has decided it can set aside rule of law because of an emergency. We have had a string of emergencies.
No shots were fired on Americans btw. Or on Canadians either.
That’s creature is a LOOSER...UGLLLLYYYY! She won’t sail well and way too much weight aloft and windage (The effect of wind on the course of a projectile) to motor cleanly.
Other billionaires who don't want to wait the several years it takes to design and build one.
If I can't afford to buy one, I want to be the broker who gets a commission for selling them...LOL!
This guy has a great YouTube channel that deals with super yachts and he just reported on this one yesterday.

As a side note, he posted a video several weeks ago from some marina that hosts many super yachts and all of them suspected of being owned by Russians were all gone. Almost as if they all knew before hand what Putin was going to do.
The deck is stacked against small business and the little guy. Keep your gated wall climbing skills up to date. When the collapse comes, they will pay for their greed.
Set them all on fire and sink them!
Of course not, Italy is becoming an wholly owned subsidiary of China
That’s not a boat. It’s a ship.
ILLEGAL!!! WILL NOT END WELL!!
Yeah, the tech oligarchs haven’t been the beneficiaries of a symbiotic relationship with government. They haven’t colluded with them in a fascist arrangement to conduct domestic spying. They didn’t get seed capital from the CIA investment bank. Facebook wasn’t founded the day after the DARPA spying variant was cancelled.
Wake up. Our oligarchs Horatio Alger hagiography is a lie.
Ohhh and good old Warren Buffett. Just an “aw shucks” guy out in Nebraska. Nothing but a simple man.
Nevermind getting Keystone killed off by his government employees. It’s just a coincidence that his railroad will haul that oil in a trade with the government that stopped his coal trains.
You’re being naive.
So what? The whole world is invading the US every day and nobody says or does a thing about it.
just a reminder to get your priorities straight
