On Saturday, a small rally called the “March for Billionaires” attracted roughly a few dozen participants who were genuinely advocating for the wealthy elite, according to Mission Local.
The gathering, held at Alta Plaza Park in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, drew approximately equal numbers of journalists and counter-protesters, the latter holding signs to mock the sad bootlicking group. The opposition mounted a tongue-in-cheek response by organizing a satirical “March for Trillionaires” demonstration, with around a dozen activists arriving in fancy pants attire to mock the original event, as documented by Broke-Ass Stuart on Instagram. The billionaire supporters insisted that they weren’t wealthy themselves.
One billionaire supporter held a “We love you, Jeffrey Bezos” sign as if it were Valentine’s Day, and the billionaire wasn’t married to Botox queen Lauren Sanchez. And I don’t know, lady, but when we’re forced to eat the rich, we could make a lovely Billionaire Wellington out of Bezos’s carcass. Or even a gumbo. I make a great gumbo.
“The ostensible reason for the demonstration was to protest the Billionaire Tax Act, a proposed state ballot measure that would require Californians worth more than $1 billion to pay a one-time, 5% tax on their total wealth. If the measure actually passes, Governor Gavin Newsom said he will veto it,” TechCrunch reports.
This is just sad.
Back to my gumbo. I usually do a seafood gumbo, but a billionaire gumbo should be interesting. We’ll throw in Elon Musk for starters, then Bezos, and work our way down. Trump is inedible, so forget about that. Besides, we’re waiting for his home planet to reclaim him. As they say in New Orleans, ‘First, you gotta make a roux,’ so I’ll work on that. You’re all invited to the feast! Well, except for the woman with the “We love you, Jeffrey Bezos” sign. We’ll put her in the pot, too.
