It covers yachts, private terminals and anyone whose people call your people. Enforcement starts at the harbor.</description><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;By order of nobody in particular, the rich are hereby banned from this area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ban covers, but is not limited to: yachts, yacht-adjacent persons, private terminals, and anyone who has ever said “my people will call your people.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enforcement begins at the harbor and works inland. Appeals may be filed in writing and will be read aloud for entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wear it until the print cracks. That is when it starts looking right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;section-1-definitions&quot;&gt;Section 1: Definitions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This area” means wherever the garment is worn. The boundary moves with the wearer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The rich” means anyone who owns a boat with staff. Ownership of a second boat removes the right of appeal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yacht-adjacent persons” includes brokers, crew recruiters and anyone paid to say “welcome aboard.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;section-2-enforcement&quot;&gt;Section 2: Enforcement&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enforcement is voluntary and constant. No officers are appointed. The print does the work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Private terminals are closed under this ordinance. Commercial gates remain open to everyone, including the banned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Helicopters are covered by a separate notice. That notice has not been written and will not be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;section-3-appeals&quot;&gt;Section 3: Appeals&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Appeals must be filed in writing. Handwriting is preferred, since the rich rarely have any.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each appeal is read aloud once. Applause counts as a rejection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No appeal has been received. None is expected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;section-4-compliance&quot;&gt;Section 4: Compliance&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The garment is compliance. Wearing it oversized is full compliance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The print is designed to crack. Cracking is not a defect. It is the ordinance taking effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Care instructions apply. Wash cold, inside out, and never iron directly over the print.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;section-5-effect&quot;&gt;Section 5: Effect&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This ordinance takes effect on publication. It expires when hoarding stops being a personality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;stamp&quot; aria-label=&quot;Approved, zero objections&quot;&gt;Approved: 0 objections&lt;/p&gt;
