Don't forget that they're practically staffed by slave labor because the economics wouldn't work if they had to pay a living wage. One of the many reasons they're all ported in other countries.

My towns summer economy relies on cruise ship tourism and the people who stagger off those boats are huge nimrods, complete gomers, absolute dotards, rotund bovine Americans who are just a fleshy torus around yawning digestive tracts, ancient Chinese mummies wretched with swine flu, dripping Floridian ghouls with noroviral flatulence, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix. What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?

Yeah and there's such a thing as more responsible tourism - maybe if cruise ships weren't constantly trampling places something more sustainable could be worked out.

chitoryu12 posted:Roald Dahl wrote a short story about the time when ocean liner passengers would have over-under bets on how far the ship would travel the next day. A guy tries to rig it by jumping off the ship so they'll have to turn around and rescue him, but he doesn't realize the only person to witness it is an elderly woman with dementia who isn't believed. It’s called A Dip in the Pool. They made an episode of Tales of the Unexpected out of it too.

gary oldmans diary posted:just keep guillotining the top 0.1% over and over until its all sorted out The nice part of this is that as the inheritance filters down you'll kill off entire families, right down to the toddlers of those rich fucks! Serious question though, what happens to those fortunes when there is nobody left to inherit them?

Fortunes that big have wills drawn up long in advance. Worst case scenario is things get distributed to a bunch of charities (or private institutions etc) of their choice.

That's when the looting begins! If it's in a bank, they get first dibs, followed by the government. But eventually you'll be looting the bank, and hopefully spreading the wealth far and wide.

Inspector 34 posted:The nice part of this is that as the inheritance filters down you'll kill off entire families, right down to the toddlers of those rich fucks! Depends on the country. In England and Wales if you die intestate and nobody can find a direct blood relative who would have a claim to the estate (yes, there are companies devoted to doing exactly this, for a chunk of the estate) it goes to the state - unless you die in Cornwall, in which case it goes to Prince Charles, which amazingly isn't a joke, or rather the joke is we have a nuclear-armed (sort-of) democracy in the 21st century that still has a hereditary monarchy that have a serious incentive to go granny-hunting if funds get low.

quote:When the English King established in 1230 the Office of the Royal Escheator to centralize bona vacantia, Earl Edmund of Cornwall pressed his claim to bona vacantia by having his viscounts continue to handle them. Until the 1337 and 1338 Duchy Charters, the issue was contentious between the king and earl. In the Duchy Charters, the King formalized the bona vacantia right with the duchy. Just a perfectly normal basis for running a country in Space Year 2020.

Topical for the thread: because cruise companies are registered in the French Antilles or wherever specifically to avoid pesky poo poo like labour laws and corporate taxes, they're excluded from any US federal bailout money.

Are they exempt from that 500b "discretionary" fund that trump and mnuchen just get to hand out however they want and not tell anyone for 6 months? That's still a part of that bill right?

The Bloop posted:not 1%ers but not lower-middle either, for the most part Depends on the cruise line. I know a lot of people who are in that range who go on cruises. The all-inclusive thing is very appealing, and those lines often offer "all you can drink" deals as well. If you know how to buy and you use the same cruise line repeatedly, it can be a pretty cheap way to travel, you can go with a large group of people (many do it as a big family reunion), and there's usually child care included so you don't have to worry about your kids all the time. Financially, they can be a good deal.
