What psychopath would try to lure pure, innocent and very important billionaires in the warzone that is California? Don't they know we would be lost without their genius and greatness?...

SAN FRANCISCO — As California struggles with homelessness and healthcare cuts, some activists are taking on an unexpected cause: fighting for billionaires.
About a dozen people took part in the “March for Billionaires” on Saturday morning in San Francisco to raise awareness about the plight of the ultrarich. Although some assumed the event was satire, organizer Derik Kauffman said it was a sincere protest against a potential new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents.
And 10-20 to people showed up to actually protest.

Good to know so many will be in one place at the same time...

It's supposed to be a march for billionaires. I doubt many will show up themselves. The people marching will mostly be bootlickers.

..so the rally should really be called "Simp for Billionaires.."
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 220d
Well yes, but the organizers were never going to do that.

The billionaires will teleoperate robots for the march.

Certainly, in the same way that failing to catch a bank robber and allowing them to skip town is expensive.

I’m proposing a march for guillotines on the same day
boogiebored@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 220d
Could be at the same place, same time!
Most likely the participants will be poor astroturfers sent on behalf of the billiodogs.

It's one of the follow-ups that sends me.
"What machine did you think they were raging against? A dishwasher?"

Does anyone know where to sign up for all these paid protesting gigs? Because I can't imagine a sane person going to this one voluntarily.

All I am hearing in this post is that there is at least 200 billion dollars just waiting to be liberated.

So, if this is indeed trying to be legit, what is stopping people from just co-opting the event as an act of protest against billionaires anyways?
boogiebored@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 220d
I thought California taxes were REALLY BAD and everyone HATES it there???

Class traitor or joke?
resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 220d
I mis-read the comment and thought it was "protest them".
Though it'd be fun to hold a mock "March For Billionaires" and dress as your favorite oligarch.
