Dozens of them. Dozens!!
I mean... 3600 is 300 dozen
The kids are alright. (I don't use that word in the real world because it's improper spelling. It's a music reference, all right?)
Fuck dumbass tech {m/b}illionaires.
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.
1/18th of the student population walked out.
200 is over sixteen dozens
That's almost dozens of dozens.

On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.
Very rare for the ceremony to be the entire graduating class. Its usually broken down by school.

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.

Because this diverges from their day to day and how everyone else treats them. "Surely these students are the ones that are wrong".

Poor people who act like that tend to suffer social consequences. Like getting their asses kicked.
That sort of thing doesn't stop poor people from saying shit like that, but it does teach them to be careful about it. Some of them.

And then some of those that walked out will work for Google also due to job market shit fuckery. What a time to be alive
New grads can get jobs?
Not at Google, Amazon, or Meta. Some companies are still hiring new grads to make entry level engineers into their future senior engineers, but it's usually older companies.

Whatever happened to booing and jeering. Chase these goblins off their stage.
Many of these schools forbid stuff like this and will withhold diplomas and such. This i think it's far more effective. Hey up and walk the fuck out everyone sees you and sees them.
