Ok, but it's still unfair to assume that yacht builders are as good for society as farmers, simply because both food and yachts are purchased with money.
Consider an industrial farm that only produces almonds at enormous expense to the regional ecology and grossly depletes the topsoil and water table, versus a family-owned yacht builder who builds from sustainable sources.
Nom nom on those roasted almonds and slurp that almond milk, but keep in mind that yacht builder is having less of a negative impact on the planet.
That's a good point, and what I was angling for - we should be allowed to take the ethics of a job into consideration. That the existence of yachts means someone has a job making yachts doesn't automatically make yachts, or their creation, ethical.
