Article is in italian I couldn’t find any news about this in english but i believe it’s really important to share.

"Sono attesi dagli 80 ai 90 aerei all’aeroporto Marco Polo di Venezia. Jet privati da Los Angeles, New York, Londra e Dubai scaricheranno in laguna un carico scintillante di star, imprenditori, supermodelle, influencer e tycoon. Il traffico aereo privato sarà talmente intenso da richiedere un coordinamento speciale tra l’aeroporto di Venezia e gli scali di riserva a Verona e Treviso. "

Translation:

"80 to 90 planes are expected at Venice’s Marco Polo airport. Private jets from Los Angeles, New York, London and Dubai will unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon. Private air traffic will be so intense that it will require special coordination between Venice airport and the reserve stopovers in Verona and Treviso. "

    And why is it important? A bunch of posh billionaires gather in one place to… whatever they do on such gatherings.

    If there was a bomb… That’ll be a completely different thing. But there is no bomb, just a bunch of billionaires and prostitutes.

      And why is it important?

      Venice’s major and italian authorities are using the argument that this event will bring a lot of money in the country to justify it. News like this are evidence of the damage these people are actually creating. 90 private jets for 250 guests is one of the most ridiculous rich people stunt i’ve ever seen, i think it’s important to share to let people aware of this shit happening.

        90 private jets for 250 guests

        It means they are not friends. If you have a big jet, why would you not fly with other guests and already have a good time on the way to Venice?

          That whole question is contingent on the assumption that it’s OK that private jets exist

      Because the rich and powerful set the example that the rest of the population wants to imitate. If the elite travels around blowing pollution, the rest of the population will do the same.

      I hope you aren’t attempting to equate sex work / prostitution / escort with billionaires, they are quite different in expertise.
