I'd be ok with them if there were sin taxes on rich people sins. Giant loving yachts and private islands should get taxed 100%.

George H W Bush signed a 10% luxury tax which affected, among other things, yachts.
Clinton repealed it because the yacht industry complained.
George W Bush repealed the rest of it.

There should be a law tht if you spend more than 100 million on a yacht it has to be built so the Navy can convert it into a warship if the balloon goes up.

I’d actually be somewhat relieved if the “exploration” mega yachts were fronts like Hughes’s oil rig thing that was used to rock Er submarines.

Knife attack in London, unknown casualties. Bystanders kicked the attackers rear end, held him down for cops... He had a fake suicide vest on so when the armed officers showed up, they figured better safe than sorry and shot the attacker.

I mean a fake weapon is better cause than none at all. It's probably more justifiable than that time they chased that guy into the subway and shot him there

They’re lucky it was a fake vest and wasn’t a real one with a dead-man switch that would’ve been set off by their bloodthirst.

Seconds earlier there was a group of people fighting with the guy, and had it been a real vest, they would have been killed had the cops not domed him and he clacked it off. This wasn’t a summary execution.

Well, this is at least an improvement over the time when British cops pinned down, shot, and killed an unarmed electrician, who was on his way to repair a fire alarm before being shot in the head.
