    I see a bunch of billionaires in one place as an opportunity.

      9 out of 10 who claim to be billionaires at that march, won’t be billionaires.

      And the other one is lying, too.

        Actually came here to say this. This will be like those “supporters” that showed up to watch Pedonald come down that escalator. Paid actors.

      I think that’s exactly why they probably won’t have any showing up.

      Or else they send proxies. If I was some assistant for one of these fuckers and they asked me to go, I think I’d call in sick that day. No way I’d want to be a meat shield for one of these dickheads.

          Surely not like that scene in season 3 of Lioness in Mexico? We definitely should not model the approach on that scene. That would be theoretically wrong.

        You mean for the batter? Sure but we also need a lot of flour and frying oil. Maybe some seasoning too, we’re not monsters.
