'''Yacht Business''' is an Infrared meme/running joke concerning the yacht-owning billionaire class used to punctuate discussions of oligarchy, capital flight, and the luxury consumption of the financial elite.

"I own a yacht business" is an Infrared debate-clip meme originating from a troll exchange on the COMMUNISM WINNING | INFRAWOKE stream — where an interlocutor sputtered, in rapid succession: "I own a yacht business. What are you going to do, Connie? ... I'll buy your business up. I'm a conglomerate."

The meme

The phrase became shorthand in the community for the pathetic bravado of petty bourgeoisdom — the guy whose entire retort to communism is declaring ownership of assets, as if title deeds were an argument. Clipped and spammed in chat, "yacht business" punctuates any debate moment where an opponent substitutes property claims for substance.
