I haven’t been reading too much news lately. What is going on with Jeff Bezos and why are people protesting him? 

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He's getting married in Venice with all of his friends there. People are protesting because Venice is pretty crowded with tourists and vulnerable to climate change. Also he's Jeff Bezos.

$20 million wedding in Venice.

With an absurd number of billionaires flying in on private jets to attend

And celebrities

Just as tonedeaf as them pretending "we're just like you" when COVID happened and they were forced to stay in their mansions as everyone struggled.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez

Lmao well, I'd hope they went to the wedding

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah what a dumb part of the article lol. That being said, I'm sure there were more celebrities that managed to sneak in without being recognized

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't even care who goes. It's a big party. Why not.

I love the publics response though. We need more of that.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

It's not the wedding. It's that he wanted to take over the entire centre of Venice.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, that doesn't strike me as a ton of money for his wedding. He must not care too much for this wife.

Most of the dowery went into her face

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Wow, and it still failed.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Which is probably like $100 to him

And the orange menace's POS daughter is attending, as icing on the cake.
