Megayachts aren’t for people who love boats and sailing, they’re for rich people who love the privacy of having a mobile private island. In their operation (big diesel engines, fiberglass hulls made with MEK, dumping raw sewage and such), they pollute a lot more than basically any other method of travel/living.
The people at Gabe Newell’s company probably make decent money. But it’s a dangerous job working with extremely toxic chemicals (if it’s good for the boat, it’s bad for the environment, and it’s bad for the workers). A lot of them probably have to retire early with health problems.
I love boats and sailing, but this megayacht shit sucks.
So, I love boats and sailing.
