The timing of the boat’s arrival in Seattle and the job cuts was coincidental, but the irony was not lost among the people who hustled down to the locks to see the giant yacht after word spread through the neighborhood and online. Some booed from the shore and heckled the crew.

Bumpers on the side of the boat were about the size of small SUVs, while the back deck had a covered pool and hot tub. More than a dozen crew members were visible, many enjoying the trip through the channel on a partly sunny evening.

    Remember that time when Ukraine used a remote control mini boat loaded with explosives to sink a war ship that was basically the jewel of Russia’s navy?

    Anyway, just reminiscing. Gonna read the article now.

    I saw this when I was on vacation in Mo’orea a couple of years back. It’s truly egregious. There’s a helipad, jet skis, a floating bouncy house, and more. As ridiculous as that is, his super yacht has a buddy yacht that has a full medical staff on board and travels with it. It looks like a military radar ship with all of the dishes and shit on it.

    Eat the rich.

      If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

      Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

      Wait wait wait wait! Hold on! You should be ashamed for even suggesting that!!! You can’t sink Zuckerbergs yacht!!!

      Get a camera crew down there first, and put it on ppv! THEN blow it up!!! I’d pay $34.99 or whatever the current ppv price model is to watch Zuckerbergs yacht get blown up!

      But also, can we do this while he’s out at sea first???

      Wait!!! Hold on!!!

      …I need to go make popcorn first.

    I’m surprised there aren’t more protesters. When the Mercers were on Lake Union, there were a lot of them. I’m sure it’s just his crew because it’s parked over on Lake Union at the usual yacht space. They sold *Boeing’s and it has taken that spot.

    FYI, it’s twice as big as *Boeing’s yacht.
