    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.

    Yes, get billionaires into the streets and marching.

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

      Think of the egg industry! It can’t handle the buyer pressure in the days up to these events.

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

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

    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.

    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.”

    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.

      They might start a big grassroots movement. Artificially. You might call it a turfgrass movement. Maybe use a genericized brand name. That seems fitting

      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.
