That's why they are so desperately trying to get as many "data centers" built so they can have an obedient army to protect them from the peasants that they have been robbing blind for years.

The rich are only useful for a couple of things testing submarines and maybe as shark bait if a shark is desperate enough to eat shit, can't think of any other uses.

If only the yachts orcas target weren't the rich people kind that first come to mind..

They're just the homes of unfortunate regular people that are traveling using the wind on boats worth less than your average home...

I may live on a "yacht" but it's worth the same as a new base model Honda Civic. We ain't billionaires yo.

The issue is those real problem rich people have yachts too big for the orcas to sink.

Thus the only real solution is to teach the orcas how to use magnetic mines and launch torpedoes and keep them well supplied.

I hope you all realize the irony of this being just as bad as some of the "fake badass" bumper stickers of the right we have been clowning on for decades. But by all means carry on.

Even more dumb than those. Orcas aren't touching the luxury yacht class of boats. Even the one pictured is at most a few million brand new or <100-300k if old and probably run by a solo elderly couple living out their retirement.

Also, don’t underestimate the lengths they would go if it actually starts to inconvenience them. They would probably fund (through a shell company of course) some illegal whaling ships to start hunting orcas.

I would watch a killer whale revenge film with 80s action shenanigans.

You’re in luck! Orca, 1977. Jaws-craze era flick that opens with them harpooning a female orca who miscarries while they drag her out of the water and her mate watches both die; he goes on a rampage.
