Biden’s economy was so bad, businesses had to buy their stock back!

Rich boat owner flipping through his phone: “I don’t get this joke”

*Continues flipping

“Look at this beauty! 🚤 And I think I can treat myself now with my fresh tax savings ”

nines09.bsky.social•17 days ago

The two best days in owning a boat.
1=You buy a boat.
2=You sell the boat.

not satire

BREAKING: Billionaires forced to store emotions in second sailboat.
First one already full of tax shelters and unprocessed paternal expectations.

mydogsky.bsky.social•16 days ago

I hope that can make the payments! Maybe we should chip in and help them.

adamkek.bsky.social•17 days ago

A rising tide lifts all boats.
And if you don't have a boat, too bad.

meggin-around.bsky.social•16 days ago

Orcas! Engage!!

ttrueman.bsky.social•17 days ago

cirroccojones.bsky.social•17 days ago

May their 3 hour tour be eventful!

cajunasfuck.bsky.social•17 days ago

Why not the first one sunk. Might as well try again.

tsmothers.bsky.social•17 days ago

Welcome to the Billionaires Gilded Age! When DJT and the GOP get done we are going to have Mar-a-Largo on steroids or the Old White Oligarchs USA Country Club!

seamlessjam.bsky.social•16 days ago

A rising tide floats the hell outa them yachts

Satire is so dead that I've already seen it on tv 😅

busyburn2.bsky.social•17 days ago

ewoychowsky.bsky.social•16 days ago

Orca approves this message.

canuck-progressive.bsky.social•16 days ago

slakowmelaine.bsky.social•17 days ago

Does it make more chances for them to die ? I mean, give their wealth to others ?

mikesgroi21.bsky.social•17 days ago

dilloncoen25.bsky.social•17 days ago

Prior to the massive ponzi scheme that is crypto, hedge fund managers called their boats the likes of Postive Carry and Short sell:) Everything is opaque now with zero audit trail

dilloncoen25.bsky.social•17 days ago

Name boats after cryptos these days! Magic money coming from who knows where!

bronco22.bsky.social•16 days ago

I hope the Orcas get them

So many Millionaires becoming disaffected Billionaire hermits leaves all of those cute little sailboats homeless.

meliakelley.bsky.social•17 days ago

I remembered when The Onion was considered satire. Now it's on par with hard hitting journalism, such as that exists these days.

mcdonaldbucket.bsky.social•16 days ago

Two dolls???

icantdrawatall.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hope they go into a second submarine after

nite-owl.bsky.social•17 days ago

You gotta have a sailboat at your both your summer-home (a massive one, right on the fucking beach, on stilts, in the water, where people swim) and permanent residence. Americans need at least two residences, why not two boats? Just like the oppressive upper crust of Qatar.

frunkidorkface.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hahaaaaaaaaaaaafuck

danielasprouse.bsky.social•16 days ago

the struggle is real.

oconnellmark.bsky.social•17 days ago

mycandlesp.bsky.social•17 days ago

Probably more like third or fourth megayacht.

evilcylon.bsky.social•17 days ago

Second sailboat? More like 4+

mccabeagent.bsky.social•17 days ago

“Second?!?” Try 6th.

bluedotling.bsky.social•17 days ago

Too true

artifexludi.bsky.social•16 days ago

Maybe it's time to relieve that burden from them.

kschultz67.bsky.social•17 days ago

Orcas: stand back and stand by.

1ll-be-that.bsky.social•16 days ago

🤣

illiniandramsalum.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not one of those old white men have a life jacket on.

ycry2me.bsky.social•17 days ago

I once asked a guy who owned a big, beautiful sailboat what it was like to have it. He told me to "go stand in a cold shower and tear up $100. dollar bills." And that's what it's like.

cptobnoxious.bsky.social•16 days ago

True. A boat is basically a hole in the water into which you pour obscene amounts of money for the privilege of getting up at ungodly times in summer (because the tide tables demand it) and sand and paint all winter long 😎 Also applies to little old boats. Ask me how I know 🙈

canuck-progressive.bsky.social•16 days ago

Sure but if you are rich other people do that for you.

winstonsmythe.bsky.social•17 days ago

Back in the 70s we had a fleet over 50 boats in the “Beer Can Regattas” off MDR in LA.
Weds. niters.
Most were 36-50 footers.
The Newport to Endenada race was 650 boats the last time I was in it.
In a galaxy far far away, a long time ago…
If you were there, say hi.

zeebuoy.bsky.social•17 days ago

Honestly given the track record of

The ocean.

And

Rich people.

Really excited for this to become real.

keithkolich.bsky.social•16 days ago

Or second Mansion!

jeffanthony.bsky.social•16 days ago

If only this was satire. Or even humorous.

crasianamerican.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ha!

oldmanjim77.bsky.social•17 days ago

How tragic.
My heart bleeds for them. Oh wait! It's not my heart, it's my hemorrhoids.

fry69.dev•17 days ago

Good decision considering the rising sea level due to climate change.

sezhooo.bsky.social•17 days ago

This was just a loner

sezhooo.bsky.social•17 days ago

er ... loaner

radicallymoderate.bsky.social•16 days ago

both worked, fwiw.

radicallymoderate.bsky.social•16 days ago

As someone who once owned a boat... I agree that owning two is an effective measure to reduce net worth, which is truly combating income inequality head on.

blaine-deschain.bsky.social•17 days ago

Sometimes, sacrifices are made... and then partied in.

kylemann.bsky.social•17 days ago

If I was rich enough to buy a sailboat I’d buy one just so I could star in my own Boats N’ Hoes music video
