    It’s unfortunate that the orcas can’t tell the difference between rich assholes with yachts, and normal assholes with yachts.

    I guess maybe staying out of their tiny part of the ocean while they’re using it is the only thing a person with a yacht can do.

        That’s not a fair generalization.

        I own a house worth x amount of dollars, where “x” is average for a house in my area, and not even close to “rich” amount.

        If I sold my house and put that same “x” amount towards a seafaring houseboat of equal value (including all expenses for owning an oceanic home), I’m still not rich.

        If I sail that boat into the small, avoidable swimming grounds of an endangered species (only 50 members of this local group remain) and then whine when that species attacks my boat, then I’d be an asshole. But still not rich. Probably even further from it - since I’m sure insurance companies wouldn’t cover my stupidity.

          Wait, what do you mean only 50 living members remain? A quick (admittedly too quick) Google search yields the number 50000, did you forget a “thousand”? Or is the situation even more dire?
