I assume they just hire people to march on their behalf.

    I see a bunch of billionaires in one place as an opportunity.

    I think that's exactly why they probably won't have any showing up.

    Or else they send proxies. If I was some assistant for one of these fuckers and they asked me to go, I think I'd call in sick that day. No way I'd want to be a meat shield for one of these dickheads.

    Someone should have one pre-built and waiting at the end point of their march route.

    Wow.

    Turns out, if you try hard enough, you can find a protest that you want your police state to crack down on.

    If only one more rally ever gets tear-gassed, I hope it's this one.

    “Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.”

    If this isn't a Honeypot it is absolutely hilarious that think that billionaires being "lost" is them leaving the country/state

    It sounds like yet another dumbass that had their brain scrambled by the horrible sci-fi writer named Ayn Rand, who was even worse at philosophy than she was at writing prose. Surprised they aren't just outright saying they are threatening to "go Galt". 🙄

    There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

    Atlas Shrugged is insufferably pretentious trash.

    I could not agree more. At one point, I was Libertarian and was always told what great lit it was and it would explain so much, etc. Some time later I was no longer Libertarian and doing lots and lots of reading due to a layoff and trying to find something positive (and free, thanks to good libraries) to fill my time with in between responding to recruiters and job interviews, etc.

    I decided I'd finally read Atlas Shrugged. The magnum opus. The book so many Libertarians point to. I had the time and the library had the book, so why not?

    And....oh gawd. What drivel. What a shitty philosophical system. I had to force myself to finish reading it. LOL. And then shortly after, I started seeing all these "who's John Galt?" and "gone Galt" stickers on cars.

    Gag.

    I'm told by a neighbor, she used to live in the neighborhood where this clownshow is starting his March, that it's a reasonably affluent area and several billionaires do actually live there. I suspect you are absolutely correct and none of them will show. Wish it wasn't quite so far away, but there's no way I could get to SF quick enough to watch the shenanigans that this is gonna cause.

    LOL, this is going to be hilarious.

    I seem to remember some group would dress up in top hats and monocles with satirical signs supporting the parasitic elite.

    The march will be online of ai generative clones of 1 million Eric’s!

    The ongoing outrage over the proposed tax is a little funny, given that it’s already been known for quite some time that the legislation has almost no chance of being enacted. That’s because California Governor Gavin Newsom has already stated that, should the bill somehow pass, he would veto it.

    That's not funny. But the billionaires should still march. They might be surprised how many people will gladly come and help march them through the streets.

    I stopped reading after "AI startup".Everything these clowns do is a publicity stunt aimed at sucking up VC money and splitting before the jig is up.

    The one march that wont have any threats of violence against it, because the people that do that are bootlickers

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

    They may call that a walk among the plebe, the 1% march doubt could be larger than a neighbourhood meeting...
