Spanish climate activists sprayed red paint across a superyacht owned by billionaire Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie in Barcelona on Friday, the second time the yacht has been the target of protests in the past two months.

    Here's a personal finance tip: Don't buy a yacht, or any boat, like, ever. If you really want one and have the money, just rent one, these thing costs a ridiculous amount of money to maintain for something that's going to be used like once or twice a year at most.

    Governments should stop billionaires. Tax them 100% income tax after a certain amount of income, tax them 50%% of their networth yearly after a certain amount of value.

        Literally no damage done to the boat will ever actually financially harm the bitchionaire. That’s not the goal of protest - though it’s certainly a bonus when it’s achievable.

    This is entirely unacceptable, that is somebody's hard earned private property and it's never OK to vandalize what isn't yours.

    Everyone's complaining that this doesn't do anything and is counter productive, but you know what this looks like to me?

    Propaganda of the deed. Someone will look at this and think "I know better things to spray her superyacht with than paint…"
