Easy. Trace and tax superyacht owners. We’ve been able to do it with Putin. And it’s not like other superyacht owners are that much better.

A superyacht ownership is decadence, waste of resources, carbon emissions and being above the law, sometimes including severe exploitation. There is no good reason that this should be allowed.

That’s kinda the point. Responsibilities should be attached to power, not just the freedom to waste resources and build yachts.
I'll take those odds
