Heard something on the radio I was unable confirm. Sorry. However, in my search, I came across something few talk or write about.
As near as I can tell, there are many yachts taken to sanction Russian wealthy people. At least one is in San Diego Harbor. Wonder who is taking care of it. Wonder who is paying for the slip and security. Slips for 350 foot yachts are not cheap.
Apparently, it is far from being alone. For a former communist country, for a relatively poor country, they sure seem to have a lot of very wealthy people.
Moreover, they seem to be having many foriegn tax payers pay, perhaps collectively billions to tend their big boats.
That is not right. Maybe it is time to hold a big auction.
Somehow, I don’t think that will happen. Those wealthy people have power and I’m sure it extends outside the Russian borders and inside ours. If you don’t believe me, watch what happens if we got serious with the idea.
As near as I can tell, they are benefitting from the sanctions. Though they might temporarily lose the use of the yachts, they still own them and we take care of them in the meantime.
As long as we are throwing away money, maybe they can toss a grand or two my way. I wouldn’t mind.
