I have an idea. Destroying it probably just gets written off from insurance.

Wash the boat with undiluted pine sol.

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.

So it slips out of the water. Smart.

What does undiluted pinesol do?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Undiluted pine sol is the smell of pine, but it is incredibly strong, and takes forever to get rid of.

Back on reddit there was a story about some soldiers that resorted to it to "speed clean" the smell of their training facility. It's far more effective in an enclosed space.

They'll sue for emotional damage or some rich person bullshit idk

You're right they shouldn't set fire to the boat
