Anyone else getting Gavin Belson interview vibes from this?

And also the actual CNN interview that the parody was based on:

It must be some kind of a joke.

If it's not, well, it's interesting that they feel the vibe strong enough in their disfavor to come to the conclusion that they need this kind of event. I guess it's an indication that this vibe is stronger than commonly admitted.

What kind of logic is this? Apply this to any other march for something and you’ll see that this makes no sense at all.

I'll go if no one else will - will be great for networking!

Everyone should flood the march with opposition signs that argue for a 100% wealth tax on billionaires. Many of them who are corruptly enriching themselves right now should be in jail.

I think 100% wealth tax for billionaires is too kind, they are definitely experts in hiding their money. I would suppose 101-110% for them which makes things much more fair then letting them to have those funds which they have stolen earlier, before setting the 100% tax. And wait a minute, there will be no any single islang on Earth having less than 100% wealth tax.

Have I continued your logics correctly?

I just wonder how good their running shoes are.

Putting Jeff Bezos at the top of this list is bold. They should put a number next to each name for how many times they appear in the Epstein files.

Because ever having met Epstein invalidates all your success and everything you have built?

I’m sorry, you’re right, he was probably on the island the weekend of the hopscotch tournament, nothing untoward.

Needs a catchier title. How about "The Mangione March for Billionaires"

On a more serious note, I want the spirit behind this to be true, I think that like, there’s always been conflict between capital and labor, but it does feel like at some point, the incentives were such that like billionaire philanthropy favored initiatives that helped everyone - society and even regular joes. But Marc Andreesen talked directly about the breaking of the social contract(blaming the left/mainstream media, which is pathetic considering you clearly have the power and resources to break through the noise) and now all you have is a bunch of billionaires sitting around looking at AI thinking “sucks to be labor..”

But I think this has kind of been all of politics lately, is the politics of the negative. It seems like the tech oligarchs could put like a couple billion dollars into funding climate change and start a few universities or science museums and put out like subtle pro-tech propaganda that probably has a fair bit of truth to it! I don’t think that like reduced usage policies are the only way to solve say climate change. These could even be b-corps, they don’t even have to be non-profits they could still make money, and that optimistic, you could make the argument and have a positive view of tech was so prevalent in the 2000’s, now it’s cynical directly biasing the washington post, lobbying to Washington propaganda.

Why doesn’t Bryan Chesky start a renewable pre-fab housing b-corp. (apparently he did sign the giving pledge so credit where credit is due).

If NPR is liberal propaganda, the why not fund non-partisan institutions to compete with this American life and RadioLab.

But a pro-billionaire march? Is like the perfect example of everything people don’t like about the establishment right now.
