Oh the humanity... Trapped behind a historical bridge in a Dutch River.
Garb another bottle of Perrier and a tub of ice. Lets watch them take the bridge down.

I think he’s trying to get the boat out of the River in Holland so he can sail the oceans.

The boat builder is taking the bridge down; of course they will charge Bezos for it by including it in the boat's price. The Dutch are probably looking forward to a new historic bridge.

From the Dutch that I have met, their cultural values are humility, practicality, and reason (plus beer drinking). I'll bet this is causing a nationwide eye-roll at the hubris, excess, and waste.

At least this one has some grace to it. So many of the Nouveau riche have absolutely no class or taste.
I can't remember how many yachts I've operated that had pastels and chrome every where.
