This was a sign made for protest by folks in Venice, no? The image is familiar to me. The point is to get the attention of the media, not Bezos. Some questions are for the person being asked. Some are for the audience. This was clearly for the audience imo.
Yeah I looked it up and its true thanks but I dont know if it was Italians or Americans living in Venice who prepared the poster. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/24/inside-the-no-space-for-bezos-movement-one-man-rents-a-city-for-three-days-thats-obscene But still, I would be way harsher if I was the one preparing the poster. Im more the revolutionary kind and believe rich people should not be tolerated in any way when it comes to economy.
This large of a message is both a lot of work to make and probably expensive. I suspect the folks who made it put some thought into it. If you have a good idea for a poster, make it! No need to assume the worst in other activists, there's space for many voices.
Sometimes being rude reduces your message reach, even if it is justified. Big projects also lead to cautious decisions.
