Bezos wedding: Venice protestors claim 'enormous victory' after venue change
-
"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.
He knows but part of the major economic benefits for the city are already in his pockets

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

“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
Same as it ever was.

Meanwhile, Venice is sinking. But money is more important.
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'm with the locals on this one. Bezos should go attempt something anatomically impossible on himself.
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.

I was thinking the middle of Tunisia.

I hope the people in those suburbs kick up a stink as well.
Venice "suburbs" are basically the industrial zone or the farm lands. It's different than NA or Australian burbs.

Well yeah, most likely that. I want to believe that there are some politicians and city officials and such who are just too stupid to realize the problems with capitalism. I just don't wanna think bad of all my fellow humans, you know. That style of useless universal misanthropy is so 2008-2011 thinking for me personally.

Ironic. Venice was built by people like Bezos.

Nothing was ever actually built by people like Bezos.

It looks like Lauren Sanchez has had one too many plastic surgeries.

You need people to organize and give directions. People on their own are trapped in the routines they have. There will never be built something pretty like Venice without leaders. All you do by making the recognition of leadership toxic is that there won't be leaders [that you can choose or build up] who organize a better life for you.
To add to this:
Venice is the historic city of global trade that is filled with tourist second homes. To celebrate with the inhabitants is simping on its own. The working people don't live in Venice anymore. People who object are other rich people who feel diminished because they cannot rent the city themselves.
The elephant in the room is the introduction of the tourist ticket for Venice. How can Bezos rent the city? He must have bought all tickets for the day. Now, was the ticket introduced by his influence to make that possible? That would be something to object, not the renting itself.
