So a bunch of billionaires in one place you say?

Guillotine sounds intensify

If only! 😞

Online conversation about Kauffman’s planned event has continued to alternate between incredulity and ridicule. “I can’t imagine billionaires marching in the street,” one social media user said, of the event.

That person would probably be right.

Kauffman told TC that, so far, he isn’t aware of any actual billionaires planning to attend the march that has been organized in their honor. Kauffman said that the event is likely to include “a few dozen attendees,” although he stressed that he really isn’t clear on how many people would show up.

I feel like they are threatening us with a good time.

Ah, finally! A man after my own heart 🥲

[–] errer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like he’s after billionaire hearts

I really want to see this guy march alone with a single sign that says "Protect Billionaire Rights"

Billionaires have it the worst. people are always going "you could do this for the world," "you could feed children," but nobody is asking why they're stuck with a single 300ft yacht when they really want that 400ft yacht with two helicopter pads.

It would be one guy with three dozen armed security contractors around him in full mercenary kit

That sign would be about as welcome as John McLane was at the start of Die Hard 3.

Yeah, that sign with that slur. Except there wouldn't be Samuel L kicking about to save him.

I had to look it up as apparently I've only seen the most polite of the TV versions, being "I hate everybody"

This isn't so much licking boots as deepthroating them up to the knee.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Snakes can do that too

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 5 hours ago

Anybody who shows up to protest for billionaires is an idiot.

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago

We know billionaires aren't going to do the work themselves. Finally we will get to see who these "paid protesters" are that I keep hearing about.

[–] CatpainTypo@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

How much can you hire a sniper for? Might be worth picking off the 4 guys who show up for this. Just a thought?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is like a sketch from whose line is it anyway

[–] homes@piefed.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Nah— they were actually funny

[–] mentalNothing@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Now we know where to look for the real paid protesters.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 hours ago

Eggs are the worst for clean up.

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

It’s past 11:00 now. Did ANYONE show up?

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

There are dozens of us!
