Please explain to me the rationale behind spending 120-240million dollars for a ship that is severely limited in the ports it can enter and whose upkeep will be additional millions of dollars every year ?

I was merely insinuating that Zuckerberg is short dicked.

The biggest rationale for the ship is prestige and bragging rights.

The other involves rich people economics. Zuckerberg is worth 230 billion. A $250 million yacht is roughly 0.10% of his net worth - that is the equivalent of a family making $50k purchasing a fictional used car for $50.00.

Other fun facts:

A yacht of this size usually depreciates between 5-10% annually until it reaches 50% depreciation - then it is only 1-2% for the remainder of the ship's life.

Maintenance and use costs would be around $12.5 - 25 million per year.

A lease for this ship would be between 500k - 1million per week.

I just couldn't stand to be so limited in where I could actually go with such a tub.

Seems self defeating.

What is the old saying… the only thing better than owning boat is having a friend who owns a boat.

The paradox of boat ownership is that the larger your boat is, the more comfortable you will be while simultaneously restricting the places you can go.

There are a lot of really nice nooks and crannies on earth that a 30 footer could get to that a 287 foot one could not.

35-45 is the sweet spot.

A 287' yacht has a tender boat on board for those excursions. There are lots of places you're not coming near a dock with a ship that size.

We have a friend in Miami with a fairly sizable yacht. He has a 68' Viking and a 43' Midnight Express as well. The dock/slip fees for his 68' are around $13,000/mo. Every time we take it out the fuel bill is a couple thousand dollars.

The bigger expense of a 287' is a full time captain, paying a channel captain to bring it to port, a full time crew, chef, mechanic and on and on and on.

There's a 0% chance Zuck ever gets to drive that boat more than a couple miles in the middle of the ocean with someone watching him like a 2yr old.

Oh he's got a nice boat but it's not a 287'. Like an 87' give or take. Plenty big enough for a real serious party though.

Those two on the left look like the kind that down 3-4 mimosas before 11am.

This is the racism against White people that much of the left insists does not exist.

I’ve told many leftists that racism against White people is real, and I’m almost always told it “doesn’t count” because of history or power, yet those same people instantly recognize racism… https://t.co/bWpzPPpPrN

To win 9-0 is very tough to do. I don't know this case so it seems it had to be a slam dunk decision for the vastly different justices to ALL vote the same.

Yep,

Here is the run down on the case:

[The case of Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services is a recent (June 5, 2025), unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision that held that employees who are members of a majority group do not face a heightened evidentiary standard when filing discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Marlean Ames, a heterosexual woman, worked for the Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS). She alleged discrimination based on sex and sexual orientation under Title VII after being denied a promotion and demoted. Lower courts dismissed her claim by applying a "background circumstances" rule, which required members of a "majority group" to provide additional evidence of discrimination.

In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court rejected the "background circumstances" rule as inconsistent with Title VII's text and prior case law. The Court emphasized that Title VII protects "any individual" and that all Title VII claims should use the same burden-shifting framework. The Court vacated the lower court's judgment and sent the case back for reconsideration under the proper legal standard.]

Very reasonable case and reasonable decision....UVA professors went nuts over their colleague daring to argue something that was so correct it went 9-0 at SCOTUS with all the liberal justices voting for it.

Universities have become cesspools of radicalism... and just plain full of meanness and willful stupidity
