Bezos wedding: Venice protestors claim 'enormous victory' after venue change
-
"We are very proud of this! We are nobodies, we have no money, nothing!" Tommaso Cacciari, from a group calling itself No Space for Bezos, told the BBC.
"We're just citizens who started organising and we managed to move one of the most powerful people in the world - all the billionaires - out of the city."
The wedding kicks off later this week, and has a star-studded guest list of the rich and famous that is rumoured to include Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger and Leonardo diCaprio, as well as several of the Trumps.
I'm with the locals on this one. Bezos should go attempt something anatomically impossible on himself.

"This event involves just 200 carefully selected guests and will bring major economic benefits to the city," the local politician said
Tell me you don't understand what is being protested without telling me you don't understand what is being protested.

The activists have been heavily criticised by city officials, who argue that such high-rolling visitors are an important source of income.
I hope the voters remember to kick these politicians and officials to the curb. They clearly don’t work for the people they represent
All they see is income and screw everything and everyone else. Way too much of that right now from governments and corporations.

Meanwhile, Venice is sinking. But money is more important.

Why the fuck would any of those people want to go to the wedding of a glorified shopkeeper anyway? Mick Jagger? WTAF?

They forced him to the suburbs, now they're like the little people.
I hope the people in those suburbs kick up a stink as well.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]He's probably getting paid a literal boat load to be there. Kardashian already paid trump off to release someone from prison, so she'll go where the wind takes her. Leonardo diCaprio probably wants to see some fresh college age Italian girls. The trumps want to be seen as one of the elites, even though they know everyone secretly hates them by now and see them as white trash. Bezos inviting them is another matter.

Edit: and by that I mean that I find it hard to believe that at any of these people are still motivated by money, and if they are, they need to seek psychiatric help. I reckon it's more out of boredom. Jagger and DiCaprio are probably there in support of his cradle robbing.

Bezos made (makes?) his people piss in bottles, he's one of the richest in the world. They think they're smart by being frugal. Yes, rich people are absolutely weird.

For the same reason they are rich. It is a network that is looking out after each other and protecting their class interests. You go there you shake some hands, exchange some numbers and strike a deal or two.

“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we
are. They are different. ”- F. Scott Fitzgerald

He knows but part of the major economic benefits for the city are already in his pockets

Bezos can be taxed more for sure, good for them.

It sure get's better when 200 people, mostly from the US, get in their private jets and travel half the world. That's how that works, right? Right?

They're all just a bunch of showoffs.

I've tried it, it doesn't work. It just made my back sore...

Remember when dolphins actually returned to the city for a little while? That's how it's supposed to be for citizens. Bezos should just tour somehwere that needs more tourism. I think the deep sea is open.
