This is obscene. Bezos pays about 1 percent in Federal taxes in the US. How much is yours?

The environmental damage to Venice and the surrounding area is obscene. All those yachts and private jets in such a fragile city?

Imagine your downtown or entertainment area closed to the public for 3/4 days because some rich bozo “alien” wants to get married?

Good on the Venetians for standing up for their beautiful city!👏
