Do any of these people realize they're the villain?


KellyBelly916

These people don't care what the cardboard has written in it.


Antilazuli

Yeah but they really don't care as long as they can run or fly or sail away from any consequences their lifestyle has on this planet and it's people


AutoDeskSucks-

So they re tied a national monument privately. Imagine saving up for your Egyptian vacation and then you get the pyramids and they are closed.


Antilazuli

Also imagine having access to a insanely expensive museum that isn't even open yet


princessofstuff

Just the thought of that breaks my heart. I’d like to visit Japan one day and I can only imagine how devastated I’d be if the Stairway to Heaven, Osaka Castle, and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden were all closed for some Boujie Beige Becky’s over indulgent and extremely wasteful wedding party

**I do not let it break mine,** here is why, >*the biggest museum,* That's the qualia he thought was so fascinating, *the* ***largest museum,*** tbh it makes me want to marry, have the wedding in the ruined cosmodrome which contains the Buran Spacecraft in the steppe of Kazakhstan, "here at the **largest museum of spacecraft in the world,"** ***I dunno, I dunno,*** just like at some point, I was like: He didn't see anything, *that he'd understood to be as interesting, as, Robin Thicke,* three times he mentions Robin Thicke, *whom you might run into at the airport, without even noticing,* and not one anecdote about **the,** ***stuff he'd had such privileged access to; to him, this was, "the pyramids from tv," like the Eiffel tower or the...*** ***Which,*** you know, I don't mean this in the **negative, I mean it in the sense that, like,** ***the Kingdom of God is within you, type,*** *that the Osaka Castle inside of you is more beautiful and elaborated than* ***anything, and,*** **I mean that, anything, a person could, "purchase."** Boujie Beige Becky’s over indulgent and extremely wasteful wedding party. *could* ***eat*** *parts of Osaka Castle and have no greater connection to it than the person for whom this holds ghosts and histories and Per Se,* understood and meditated upon types of, *significance,* it calls to mind how the Dead Sea Scrolls had been sold for, >Interior Decoration, Movie Props, *whatever you want old scrolls for,* **or,** How Western Imperialism **trivializes, denigrates everything; Robin Thicke,** ***a stack of expensive things, "how much did these cost?"*** **idk man,** there is a Horseshoe, here, that, *While it would be expensive to do it personally,* **o.k. and thus not to envy,** >Imagine this was all a **Carnival Cruise Line Experience, which he'd taken,** ***whisked here, whisked there,*** **look at the stuff from tv take a picture** ***move along,*** Look: it's Robin Thicke, *wouldn't be so Shocking, on a Cruise, I should think; I've not been on one,* but, **let's be honest;** and I'll be honest, I'd imagined this guy, right, meeting, *for whatever reason,* Miley Cyrus and telling her, The same story, beat for beat, and then the conclusion, *what could the point be,* ***expensive, not with her,*** **"I spent a lot of time with Robin Thicke, so."** >Oh, uh, *is he well, uh, how is Robin Thicke* No clue.


Luftritter

Cool. Tax these mfkrs. Tax them to the bone.


Antilazuli

The nice thing, they can just move wherever the tax is lowest and there will always be countries to sell themselves to these people just for the pure hope of trickle down bs


screedor

Sanction them for doing it.


colin_tap

Why would the government pass those laws? They are getting bankrolled by those guys


screedor

They are those guys.


flaminghair348

taxing isn't enough, i feel sick to my stomach knowing i share a planet with these psychos.


Luftritter

Yes, this definitely stirs you inner Bolshevik.


flaminghair348

i more had in mind inner 18th century french revolutionary but go off comrade


diarrheaticavenger

I bought my wife’s engagement ring at a police auction to save money and our entire wedding was half the price of a used car, but this looks great too.


Kehwanna

Looking at rich people's Wikipedia pages I see they tend to get divorces with plenty of them having multiple marriages. At least your marriage is genuine.

Peanutbutterislord

You can see glimpses of reality in their wedding photos. The couple posed with camels, and the Egyptian owners are nearby in the frame, dressed in regular clothes and glancing uncomfortably over. As someone who’s lived in Egypt, I’m sure all these workers are making barely anything, watching this madness go down


Antilazuli

They are just there cause security hasn't gotten them yet


IbexEye

I see ignorance to suffering, and then I consider a ticking clock. Tick tock.


LibrarianSocrates

I see French fast slidy down things or their backs against the wall in the future. Tick tock.


Antilazuli

indeed


SpaceCadetUltra

Hey, let’s eat those bastards


Antilazuli

prob not taste that good


Beware_the_Voodoo

But still satisfying


Antilazuli

ofc


rossfororder

I hate this


dayison2

This makes me want to vomit.


Penibya

Woaw nice we billionares can rent the pyramids ahahahahaha yeah so.coool


Antilazuli

everything has a price


CowTheAgent

I don’t know any of them and I hate them all.

Eat them, eat them all!


SecretOfficerNeko

Meanwhile in America we are being crushed by a cost of living crisis and [a quarter of us](https://www.creditkarma.com/about/commentary/more-than-a-quarter-of-americans-are-skipping-meals-due-to-the-rise-in-grocery-costs) are having to skip meals and go hungry to get by. Getting real French aristocracy vibes here with all the shameless extravagance, while we "commoners" struggle to afford the basics. I'm just waiting for one of them to tell us to go eat cake.


Kehwanna

This always comes to mind when I think of wealth-inequality: [https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/](https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/)


joepeoplesvii

They’re billionaires. Unless you tax them at like 90 percent you won’t make a dent and taxes are on earnings not current wealth so you’d only be taxing that piece. Stagnant wealth is the real problem. Sitting on piles of money means more money is in circulation and therefore devalues current money.


HrBinkness

Can someone show the Orcas this BS?


the_poopsmith1

Burn it all down

I swear to god I kept waiting for the punchline, *the blood-sport, the giraffes lit on fire,* **the punchline,** and Here I am a Person Who Takes This Kind of Question Seriously, Wondering, >Can it be a Parody, a successful Parody, *in form & function,* Even if It Doesn't Intend to Be?

That had to have cost 100mill -250mill easy. I witnessed a woman have to decide between gas and food for her kid recently at a gas station. They spent more on clothes for that wedding than my car cost probably. They likely threw away more food than I'll have all year, and I have a pretty good job. This is how I imagine the capital was in the hunger games before the revolution. But all the time.

Brag much? Hope they all DIAF


-iamai-

I mean playing devil's advocate here I guess thats a fair sum that will help towards conservation efforts plus a lot of trade for the locals. Rather this than another super yacht!


Antilazuli

lol, if only


the_poopsmith1

Good one.


WoTbanana

I’m actually kind of happy that they are spending it, letting it trickle into the economy instead of being hoarded. Not sure if that’s really how it works but I hope it does.


Whoop_Rhettly

It really doesn’t.


Antilazuli

*sigh it doesn’t. It never has.
