Maintaining services to remote villages is one thing, subsidizing the retirement dreams of a lucky few is another.

Ultimately I imagine it balances out. There's not going to be a library, school, or much road maintenance or healthcare going on in places like that. Subsidizing a boat to a place so remote that a heart attack is basically a death sentence seems a small thing to me in the greatest scheme of things.

You will get all those services at the place the boat goes to.
