ILast week was the best time for Zahran Mamdani The people working in New York City were the worst time for billionaires who spent a small wealth in an attempt to prevent him from securing the democratic municipality nomination in the city. The media pole Barry DillerFor example, only one, donate $ 250,000 for Andrew Como’s campaign, just to see the former disgraceful ruler losing a decisive margin.
But Deller will soon be able to flood his disappointment at Great Catcpensity cocktails As join Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and at least three Kardashian for a cheerful event in the oligarchic social calendar for this season: Venice wedding ceremony Former TV journalist Lauren Sanchez and the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos.
It was an overlap to ask CNN, as a network Interview With Mamdani to cover the doctrine scene. the According to $ 50 million Affair I booked all nine From the ports of Venice yacht, Closed parts of the city to the public And forced Transfer of hotel guests To make way for the happy couple. Everything was a flagrant reminder if there is no account that Megarich will not pay to secure their own comfort – except, of course, the losses affect the societies from which they extract their wealth.
The choice of love birds from Venice alone shows their neglect. Because the city includes More than 100 islands In the Adriatic Sea, it is Unique To the high sea levels that are driven by global temperatures warming. Despite Sanchez He claims that “Created to combat climate change”, and bezos has Call “The biggest threat to our planet”, their guests arrived at the city of bridges through 96 private planesand The most intense carbon Transport. Bezos has made great obligations to combat climate change, such as pledge 10 billion dollars To the Earth’s Bezos Box, while the Amazon promised to become Carbon neutral By 2040, emissions from the Amazon delivery fleet Rise From 2019 to 2023, and The latest data center Millions of gallons of water and energy will be equivalent to one million homes every year.
This mixing is a work strategy for Bezos as much as the delivery of a two -day prime, which allows him to wash his reputation without harming an alarm. This pattern was shown last year with his ownership of the Washington Post – where, as soon as he felt threatened by the climb of Donald Trump, press integrity fell abroad more quickly than a wedding guest at a luxurious gendol.
It was also covered in column Earlier this year, Bezos The job support kill From Kamala Harris, I directed the editorial board To publish the two articles who only support “personal freedoms and free markets” and Ensure the exit Of more than 20 reporters and editors. Pamela and Emouth, a granddaughter of the post, described the Plenzanj Catherine Graham, this surrender in Modern piece For the nation As an exposure to “the thing that makes America democratic”.
In fairness to Bezos, though washing charitable works is a professional danger to billionaires. Mark Zuckerberg initially donated the organizations fighting the housing crisis in California ExacerbateQuietly kiss Finishing his financing this year. Gates Corporation It gives 90 % of its financing For non -profit organizations in the wealthy countries instead of the poor who are the gross domestic product smaller than its clear wealth of the same name. The wealthy affair in Uber tends to produce what Anand Geraidihradas journalist He called “Fake change”, or efforts that stop systematic change because these systems support the vast wealth of beneficiaries.
For this reason, no vision of the gradual change can rely on Bezos or his guests at the celebrity wedding to work against their own interest. (No, not even an opera) like that Publish approximately 30,000 guts of the door And collect funds from 27,000 donors to exchange a Mamdani message for real economic empowerment.
On Tuesday, Mamdani’s victory added to an increasing group of evidence that even billionaires do not always get what they want. Last year, Elon Musk He spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars Electing Republicans, but no amount of money from Donald Trump’s mood can be saved. Also, his wealth did not affect the Weskonsen voters, where he is He contributed 21 million dollars The state’s candidate in the state ended up losing 10 points.
There is no doubt that the suspicions of voters increasing 1 % of popular activity. As in Venice, the local demonstrators threatened to fill the channels Inflatable crocodilesForced the wedding of the century to move to the outskirts of the city. In the United States, progressive Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Okasio Cortez continue Drawing crowds record All parts of the country on the martial few tour. At a modern station in Oklahoma – Trump is a state He won 33 points – Sanders spoke to A crowd of standing room only.
Is it possible to build billionaire reactions in time for the next year?
