The Whale Wars continue and we are losing
I, for one, welcome our new whale overlords.

Orca are dolphins.

‘So long and thanks for the fish’ was angry sarcasm as they watch us kill the works for building bypasses. So close, but,

The only swimmers leaving the planet are Elons and Dons (on paper).

There’s a wild science fiction book where the ocean rises up to wipe us out in self defense.

Don’t read the second paragraph! Spoils it and makes it sound dumber than it really is.
Misread that as “orcs,” prepared to change my world view, then had it roughly yanked back.
Ohh no rich people are suffering!!!
Anyway…
It looks like the boat belonged to some sort of sailing cooperative meant for people who can’t afford their own boat.
At least that’s what comes up when you search for the owners of the boat that are referenced in the article.
I don’t think this changes my analysis unless they were using it for fishing to feed their families.
Based on the picture that’s a luxury boat.
There’s a big difference between rich and being middle class, and if you have to pay into a cooperative to afford the experience of sailing, you’re not rich.
Do you think anyone earning above poverty wages deserves bad things to happen?
I take it, you have no empathy then for construction workers or unionized skilled laborers.
Pathetic attempt detected…
Sailing middle class construction workers and unionized skilled labour…
One of these is not like the others.
Median wage in PT is 15k per year. I highly doubt these plebs are sailing dear.
Esp not on a boat pictured in OP.
Union construction workers and skilled laborers/tradesmen e.g. electricians, plumbers, etc., in America regularly make six figures, I imagine it’s not too different in Western Europe.
And how many blue collar workers like that do you know? Because the ones that I know all have what you apparently consider exclusively wealthy hobbies, such as boating.
You just looked at the picture, didn’t read the article, much less follow up on details in the article, and now you’re spinning your wheels trying to paint middle class workers in sailing cooperative as ultra wealthy.
Only about 20% other US individuals make 100k plus… By definition not middle class.
Also, i never brought up these middle class hard workers, you did to justify your argument BC maybe poors could have been on that boat so sunz2 shouldn’t be dunking on them!
Either way sailing is luxury activity that hurts the orcas habitat. This has been going on for years.
These hard workers should find a different place to populute BC these orcas gonna keep destroying their luxury boats.
You labeled these them as being rich assholes who deserve whatever bad things that happened to them.
My electrician and construction worker friends will be so elated to hear that they’ve joined the ranks of Elon Musk, and every asshole hedge fund manager.
Would you mind creating a list of class-appropriate hobbies that they can partake in?
I want to make sure that if they get injured or killed doing one of their hobbies, that they won’t posthumously smeared as class traitors who deserved it.
Makes me wonder what the boaters were up to. Orca attacks are rare if at all and there has never been a death of a human by orca attack so far.
Makes one wonder if they were provoked?
Latest scientists have come up with is that they’re playing a game.
