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. "
90 private jets polluting the planet just to see one rich asshole say ”I do”.
Maybe we will get lucky and some/all will fall into the canals and drown.
unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon
If only that were literally true
It would be a shame if something were to happen to so many billionaires gathered conspicuously in one place on a very publicized date
Like London Has Fallen?
Skyrim something about Vici.
That’s why they picked Italy, Italy loves fascism
Italy is also home of the people who responded to that regime by dragging Mussolini and his wife’s bodies after their assassination across the country back to Milan, where they were unceremoniously dumped in a town square to be humiliated and desecrated, then hung on girders above a service station in the square by their ankles until they fell and subsequently were buried in unmarked graves.
dont give me ideas…
Use dots of different color nail polish to color code keys!
looks down at paper straw dissolving in glass of water
This is exactly why I don’t feel guilt about my statistically insignificant contribution towards climate change.
I wonder how many jet flights do a single year of collective paper straw using offsets
according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.
and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.
so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.
that’s fun.
tbh, the real reason to use paper straws instead of plastic is that they’re much more biodegradable, not so much the CO2 use. we should use way less plastic in general, imo
and it bears mentioning that the CO2 released by private jets still pales in comparison to what the airline industry produces; the average global northerner’s overseas holiday is still very destructive for the environment (tho obviously not as much as a rich fuck using a private jet)
If you compute it per person I suspect a billionaire is probably producing (just due to flights) about 10000 to 50000 more than an average traveller (couple international flights a year).
Well I am glad I can buy a CEO 10 meters of flight time. My estimates is that our collective world wide yearly efforts can just about earn our top 100 richest turds their annual flight pollution.
More importantly: what’s the carbon footprint of an anti air missile?
Id estimate something in the regions of 0
Probably enough to cover just starting the engines
Interesting. This one have more information about protests and many comments ( also in italian ) https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2025/06/14/venezia-protesta-nozze-bezos-brugnaro-zaia-ultime-notizie/8025608/
I bet you none those flight will crash. So why do our flights get to crash?
far more people die in private plane crashes than in commercial airline crashes
One can only hope
God willing there’ll be a few more to add to those statistics soon.
If you’re asking god for help, you’re never gonna get it. :(
Now that’s what I call a target rich environment
We need you Luigi
Send more blue shells
We need a French solution to the billionaire problem.

Don’t forgot the horse drawn…person
It was the British that sent their criminals to Australia.
/s
They sent them to North America first. The charting and colonisation of NSW happened shortly after the US declared independence, not a coincidence. Of course now the inbred aristocracy doesn’t run this place any more so you can keep your worst thanks
They all gathered together for this. The British Guy Fawkes may have had a better solution.
But hey, we should do the right thing, save the environment and buy his ev truck!
Don’t forget to turn off the lights (those LED lights that consumes practically nothing), and recycle (but forget that recycling companies do not actually recycle anything).
As for that EV, it seems an easy way to shame poor people who cannot afford it.
Every time, this world feels like a big joke. Once I retire, I’ll get a cabin in the woods and forget about all this.
I’ll get a cabin in the woods and forget about all this.
Enjoy the uncontrolled wildfires. There’s no escaping the damaging effects of capitalism.
That’s why I built my cabin underground
Is your Saddam Hussein structural?
Good luck living through the ever-increasing frackquakes…
It’s not his truck, he was a series A funder among many. The CEO of Slate is a woman with an idea.
Them: “Save the planet!”
Bezos: “… and redeem it for valuable prizes!”
A woman with an idea who took funding from bezos.
Her choice.
My choice is to not have anything to do with bezos, as much as I humanly can. And that includes not buying products he will profit from.
Wait he has an ev truck now too?? Is this part of the douchebag checklist? Space company, ev truck, …
He’s working on producing a “bare bones” ev pick up.
It’s like these people are parodies of themselves.
So that if Trump goes after 4 years and is replaced back by a democrat he is going to turn back to democrat voters and tell them “look I sent women to space, I am super into environmental issues and I actually was a big fan of DEI so I am implementing them back again”. For him it is just hedging bets.
Sucks that a small frame single cab pickup truck has to comeback under Bezos, because it is the perfect example of a sane size and price truck, but being attached to Bezos and electric only kills it for me. I was super interested until I did research on the company. I really wish they’d bring back the tiny (by today’s standards) Toyota trucks with the full size bed. Like the mid 90s Tacoma with no lift
My first car was a Toyota Tacoma. I miss that thing. The bed was low so you didn’t have to kill your back, too.
And for all those “I use it for my job” types, they’d have more use out of a freaking transit connect.
When SUVs became “family vehicles”, instead of the dick-compensation-machines, marketing said “ahah! Big trucks!” And now big trucks are the dick compensation machines.
Flight Radar 24 will busy.
I mean she looks and her name sounds hispanic. Shouldn’t she be sent to El Salvador? /s
That only applies to the poors.
My bad, forgot to mention that…
I’ve never hoped so hard for a natural disaster
I understand your feeling but keep in mind that many people live in Venice. Some of them are organizing against the event, it’s not fair to wish for a natural disaster.
A highly selective natural disaster maybe.
A single bolt of lightning that spreads to those wearing gold within a certain specific radius.
A natural disaster of the Luigi variety
A happy little miracle disaster
It’s not fair for jeff bezos and his band of cronies to exist either. Sometimes the world is unfair. At least in my example the unfairness would be swift and would overwhelmingly result in a net positive for humanity
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Wishing is illegal
If I wasn’t already boycotting amazon, I’d start now.
Oh they are kettling themselves. It would be a shame if something happened to all of them simultaneously
