Eat the Rich

What the worst thing about being rich?
Is it that all the poor people blame you for all their problems? Is it that they always make fun of you? Is it that they never understand if they just work hard 'like you' they too shall ascend the crystal floor? Is it that no one understands you? You have no real friends, and the only people surrounding you are just looking to take every advantage they can before dumping you in the trash?
Or is it that your wealth has promoted you to a point of sheer privilage that you have lost all notion of true reality, that you live on a plane of existence so far beyond what the common folk see you might as well be on another planet. Is it that you look down all you see is angry, jealous stares gazing back up at you making you feel enraptured in a sense of power that you cannot help but sneer back.
Or is it that your neighbor has a bigger boat?
Hello, my name is Lazerpig and I shall be your candidate for the 2025 Elections standing for the "Eat the Rich" party.
We here at PigHQ know that the Rich are like exotic birds, try to tax them and watch them flee to Monaco. We propose to move Monaco closer to the sun, therefore removing this problem once and for all.

A few decades ago in the US it was considered extremely trashy among the truly wealthy to show off to the poors how much money you have (after all, they might get envious and write their Congressmen demanding that they raise your taxes). They'd drive around prole-land in Oldsmobiles and the fancy rich boy toys would be hidden away in their huge estates that were invisible from the street. Their clothes would be just like anybody else's formal clothes only they fit better, lasted longer, cost ten times as much, and had a bunch of tiny differences in cut and style calculated so that the other rich bastards (oooh, that suit must have been tailored by J. Ronald Crosfield in Amherst, New Hampshire, I bought a suit from him in 1961 and I still wear it!) would notice and you, peasant, would not. And of course only a parvenu boor would go around in some flashy superyacht (which haven't even been invented yet), you want a wooden sailing yacht with servants to handle the rigging because motors are for casuals. Sure the old WASP elite were bastards but compared to the new super-rich I miss them.

The difference lies in the fact that the old WASPs recognized that they were born into wealth and privilege.

One thing I think people have seemed to have forgotten is class. It’s what sets everyone a part at their respective economic levels. Everyone is attracted to a classy, respectful person, not the three hundred other people in the room who have just about the same amount of money. It supplements a personality, it shows your wealth doesn’t change you, your experience does. Personal story: The richest guy that I know is an angel investor, was a mentor I connected with. He has over 200mil to his name, he always offers to pay for everyone’s meal and he always tips 30% at a minimum, he drives a Toyota Corolla, always dresses in a casual suit, never talks over anyone. That is what I believe the ideal is for being wealthy.

Would you choose the man who showed up in a shiny “luxury” private jet….or the man that somehow added a second seat to an A-10 warthog modified to accommodate an actual hog? But seriously, the richest person you know is likely someone you don’t realize is rich. They just live an average seeming life with a nice house, a close family, a lifestyle they enjoy, probably behave somewhat eccentrically because why not, and rarely if ever talk about their money. You’re British, I’m sure you’re well aware of the difference between new money & old money & smart money & dumb money & colonial money & happiness. Those yachts, private jets, tasteless apartments and gaudy resorts don’t build themselves, and thank fuck that there’s a steady supply of wankers that dream of throwing money at them to keep the gears all turning 😋 Not sure why I wrote this long comment, and even less sure that anyone will read or appreciate it, but I feel that’s perfectly in line with the shenanigans on this channel.

Years back I worked for an excavation company that also did landscaping in the northwest of Connecticut. One of the clients we had was the son of Charles Kaman (as in Kaman Aerospace & Ovation guitars). Smallish weekend house with a literal million dollar view (I am fairly certain that when they sold that house, the view alone bumped the price up by that much), up in the hills. Another client was the author Philip Roth. Another weekend house, and where he would write. Typical colonial from 200 years ago, a few acres of fields, detached study (for writing) and some other amenities. Also concord grapes growing all over the place and a half dozen different apple trees. And he didn't care how much of those we harvested. The last client I shall mention, was this short unassuming gay black guy. Apparently he grew up in some shithole out near Boston, said "screw this shit" and studied his ass off, went to college on a scholarship and went into investment banking. His first year out, he did so good, that the people he was working for tried to screw him out of the money they legally owed him. (Can you just imagine some pompous old dickheads getting pissed because the new, gay, black guy just showed them all up and now they owe him a small fortune?) So he sued the shit out of them, won, and started his own investment firm with the money. Now he lives in what is about as close to a modern castle as you will get here (outside of Gillette Castle anyways). Bigass secluded stone built house out in the foothills. You won't find it unless you know where to go, or if you are bored and get lost driving around. If you met any of these people, you would never know that they had tons of cash (and I doubt you would know that Roth was a ridiculously famous author just by seeing him and his house there). Compare them to the wannabe rich people I met working a similar job in Avon, Connecticut. They were the people that had a house for 2 years before they had to move for a lack of money. Would buy the biggest stainless steel grill they could find and never use it. Would do the same with cars that they did with houses except on a timescale of months instead of years. Would bitch about someone putting a single mark on their shit lawn that they would never pay to properly maintain....... you get the idea.... To finish: All of the people I have met, who have money up the yin-yang (and sometimes some serious fame with some actors and, like I said, Roth), never look it..... they don't give a shit..... giving a shit is what poor people do.

Because replacing all the panels with titanium alloy panels would cost way more than simply gold-plating them, and would thus be an even better way of squandering one's billions, whilst also making the boat lighter and therefore potentially faster Meanwhile the ballast tanks are actually rated for the laden displacement of the vessel, so the extra weight of the gold plating most likely would cause issues with restoring buoyancy for operations such as surfacing.

[@sangomasmith]

As to why the mega-yacht crowd don't build a model of the SS Great Eastern - it would be too expensive (yes, really) and, more importantly, time-consuming. Making something actually new (or a replica of the old) and interesting not only costs a huge amount of money, but takes a lot of time and requires a lot of skills that you'd have to pay for and cultivate. This is also part of the reason why mega-mansions are so sad and lifeless - it's far easier to build a depressing pseudo-modernist house and then slap a bunch of poorly-cut marble all over the shop than it is to hire real craftsmen to carve a 1:1 replica of the North wall of Medinet Habu into your gigantic statement living room/ultimate PC gaming rig receptacle. So mister mega-billionaire looks politely at concept art of a submersible yacht or whatever, and then simply buys the triple-decker + helipad option from the catalogue before checking the the colour of aged hardwood he prefers in his pre-fab middeck bar.

The primary reason why so many megayachts look identical is because they are all designed to be the largest ocean-going vessal they can be that doesn't need to register as a cruise ship. One month they'll be on the French Riviera, then the Bahamas, then Cabo, then Fiji and so on. The ship will have a full-time crew, possibly even 2 crews that cycle out every few months or between major sea crossings. This is why so many yachts appear in movies - the owner gets to make money towards the maintenance while writing the various expenses off as a cost of business.

Only rich guy I met yelled at me for having a window open in a machine during a heatwave with no A/C, while he sits in a Lincoln with the A/C on max

This has quickly become my favorite youtube channel in the past couple of days. If I wasn't tragically married, middle class, and straight I'd do my best to hit you up. That's the best compliment I can give you, since I'm really bad at compliments.

I’ve always said if I became a billionaire instead of getting a regular yacht I would totally make some replica of something like the USS Texas dreadnought, obviously I would make the inside pretty yacht like maybe the actual conning tower area and the command structure would be World War II era, but the majority of the below deck area would be like a yacht since due to modern tech I don’t need as much crew, and since the guns and such are for show I dont need ammunition storage, armor belts or steam engines.

"The only people who are going to see the inside of this place are the prostitutes he brings home at 2am..." Said while the trailer has 'entertainment area' and I couldn't help but chuckle.

I just came upon this shimmering isle of a channel and I immediately love it

You got me laughing out loud when the "Great Eastern" showed up, good video.

If I had super yacht money, id buy a replica of the USS Constitution and hire people to crew it with me. And id totally sail near the actual USS Constitution and pretend to pick a fight with them just to fvck with the sailers. God, I envy those sailers.
