So if they're still building boats (presumably for no one?) Then they won't be the nurses etc earlier in the thread that this line of reasoning was countering.

It seems like you're struggling to imagine what people would even do with their lives if the industries that cropped up to service the ultra wealthy dissapeared. I am here to reveal to you, they would just work for other people performing needed services or producing goods. Simply put, there would be more for everyone else if the ultra wealthy did not exist to suck up so many resources.

Not at all - you've badly misread what I said.
You and one other person in this thread are saying:
- the super rich shouldn't be around because they employ people to do the wrong jobs; those people should do other jobs, and removing the super rich is how we achieve this important aim
- the super rich aren't required to keep those people employed; the same demand will magically appear if we remove the super rich
You are particularly distinguished because you say both at different points, which is funny. But I am commenting at one time or another on either of those points above.
