    Dozens

    the local news outlet SFGate estimated it was as many as 200

    No mention of how many people are graduating

    Reee it’s difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn’t mentioned.

    Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don’t get it.

      They don’t need to. They’re still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.

          His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That’s about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you’ll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.

            BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There’s no way any one person deserves that much money.

    Then they used their google phone outside to use a google platform to send their meme about it and then laughed at friends writing them on gmail accounts.

    yes but will any of them take a actual step in the right direction like degoogling and/or closing their Meta or Xitter accounts?

    Edit: After thinking about this yesterday I realized I was wrong. I am indeed frustrated with the inaction of the American people and their letting loose of a menace that is literally killing thousands around the world and just making everything miserable in its path. However, these graduates were actually doing something to fight power; I should have commended their walk out, not complain about shortcomings.

    Leaving the original comment up (but stroked through) so the thread below makes sense for those who come in later.
