This Labor Day weekend, a handful of protesters crashed the Hamptons like a televangelist at a vegan potluck, storming Sag Harbor's American Hotel to shout 'Tax the rich' amidst $200 caviar nibbles. The all-star cast includes billionaire hedge fund legend Bill Ackman, fashion icon Calvin Klein, and Citadel’s Ken Griffin, coincidentally residents of billionaire playgrounds like the famed Meadow Lane aka 'Billionaire Lane.' Their wild weekend involved a newly minted 'Department of Class Solidarity,' tracking billionaires like a SWAT team for class warfare, while loudly connecting billionaire cash flows to Cuomo, Adams, and Trump—apparently rich people spice up government too. Meanwhile, viral smoothie prices, a booming multimillion dollar market, and protest slogans remind everyone money talks but caviar whispers.
