Why does the representative of the people have a superyaucht?
Probably because they only represent 1% of the people. As is tradition over there
Because rich fascist leader gave favors to rich fascist friends after stealing last election.
For those who want to know more about this oligarch:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilman_Fertitta
In the spirit of AIPAC, he donates to both parties - in this fashion, which you, dear reader, might find unsurprising:
Together with his spouse, Fertitta contributed $140,000 to Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign and $5,600 to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
Also from the wiki:
On December 21, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump announced the nomination of Fertitta,[80] whom he has referred to as his “twin”
Now returning to the article at hand,
Protesters in Venice are planning to disrupt a visit by the billionaire US ambassador to Italy in his 117-metre superyacht, which they fear he plans to dock in the lagoon city.
“We ruined the party for Jeff Bezos’s wedding last year – this year let’s ruin the ambassador’s tour!” said Stella Faye, a 28-year-old researcher and activist, at a meeting of about 40 demonstrators on Thursday.
Further:
One person suggested, to a round of laughter, “bringing back the crocodiles” – a reference to protesters’ threat last year to fill the canals with inflatable crocodiles, which forced the Bezos-Sánchez wedding reception to change venue at the last minute.
I welcome this oligarch to follow through with his optics-challenged plan.
Friends, let’s try not to choke eating popcorn whilst laughing uncontrollably.
With deep appreciation to the mighty Italians.
With the amounts donated … my worldview immediately goes to “how many donations and how much per donation” and can some math nerds discover what the donations correlated to the candidate saying.
Aren’t they trying to ban big boats over there?
I imagine climate deniers are less welcome in Venice than elsewhere in the world
