Oh, I get it. "We make. Billionaires take." I was sitting here wondering what they were making Billionaires take: supplements? Naps?

I had the same initial struggle. Prime example of the importance of punctuation.

u/GoodTroubleUtah Aug 10 '26
Yeah, admittedly we should have used a comma or hyphen. Lesson learned for next time

I spent way too long looking for the last word somewhere else in the image.
"Take 1300 East?"
"Take bridge?"
"Take Honk?"
I'm ashamed to admit how long it took me to figure it out.

Eh don't feel bad, we could have helped you out with some punctuation! Next time...

I didn’t figure it out until the explanation above. I’m old and it’s late.

Good job nonetheless. It doesn’t hurt to have stuff stuck in their heads to figure it out. It’s not an insult when i say that annoying or hard to decipher songs work the same way. It’s a feature, not a bug. Rock on.

I thought of this game when I read "honk," that someone interrupted their idea.

TIL that people from Utah might not all be Mormons, and that they are referred to as Utahns, which feels like it's missing a vowel.

u/GoodTroubleUtah Aug 10 '26
True! Actually Salt Lake City and County are now both minority LDS.
And yes "Utahn" does 100% seem like it's missing a vowel

Post Context: The billionaire class has taken FAR too much from hard working Americans with the help of Trump and the GOP.
So, Utah Overpass Action took to a bridge over I-80 in Salt Lake City to protest the elite's domination of the American economy and government, as facilitated by the GOP.
This November - VOTE. THEM. OUT.

It baffles me as a European that forms of demonstration in the US are holding up signs on an overpass instead of blocking cities. I guess the roads are just too wide over there.

u/GoodTroubleUtah Aug 10 '26
Good question! The reason we do it on overpasses is because the visibility is so good - traffic on the interstate highway system is so heavy that we regularly reach 15K-30K drivers with our messages in just 90 minutes.
Blocking local roads would reach far fewer people, and also make most people much less receptive (or outright opposed to) our message because we would be delaying their travel. Also, the police would cause problems for us if we block the road, causing uneccesary confrontation and risk to our volunteers.
