    Like 3 people will show up and they'll probably back the tax off anyway cause they were so polite and moving with their peaceful demonstration.

    I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

    Yes.

    But it'll be the most extravagant protest ever. The who's who will be there. No doubt, down Rodeo Drive,. The lenses of every contributor to your feed algorithm. The best of opinion pieces journalism.

    I don't think these rattle heads, actually plan to march, I think he thinks he will order a march, and all the people currently marching that he sees, love him so much and support his "deserving" lifestyle so much, they'll all march for him. He's putting in orders for you to march for him, on his behalf, and he absolutely believes it'll happen in troves.

    I would march.

    200 bucks an hour I'll walk around a bit and pretend to give a shit.

    I will also say things that when taken out of context will sound fucking awful and when in context will sound extremely suspicious.

    Yes, get billionaires into the streets and marching.

    I predict this will do wonders for the compacting roller market.

    Ooh, the headline is slightly misleading. It should say, "A desperate nobody who sees his misguided startup failing starts a self-promotion campaign to try to get money from rich people."

    Such temptation

    Is this guy dumb or secretly anti-billionaire? Gathering a bunch of billionaires in a small area, walking slowly in public streets, specifically to rally in favor of billionaire in this political climate. I would be more surprised if a shooter DIDNT take the opportunity.

    I'm greatly amused by the thought of a march that could not be more than 3,028 people.

    I feel like the target audience is "temporarily embarrassed [billionaires]"^[1]

    That is, people who are not billionaires, but like to imagine themselves as having the ability to become one.


    [1] the original quote that this is from uses "millionaires" but years of the upwards flow of wealth meant the quote needed some updating.

    Can you imagine the size of the counter-demonstration. I really hope this goes ahead.

    The only march where you can be certain if it’s more than 5 people they’re paid protestors.

    That would be a shame if during their march they got ambushed with masses of egg throwing counter protesters that pelted them all mercilessly with eggs, and maybe water baloons.

    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.
