Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

Do you ever think before you post? Or do you just start mashing the keys together randomly?

You might want to go back to the start of this thread and read everything again. Do it slowly. Sound out the words as you go.

Just answer the question, when are you going to give 50% of your income to a needy family of color? I sure as shit ain't gonna read over 130 pages of this thread just to see if you made some sort of point.

Yeah so the thread about this is about 10 posts long.

Let me give you a spoiler alert- I said I support the sentiment of the law, but I don't think it will work.

Seriously why is your reading comprehension so bad?

Mostly we destroy the community, actually. People who aren't in tech jobs can't keep up with the inflation that results from 20% of us making 5x what everyone else is making.

There are fast food restaurants in the Bay Area who only open half days because they literally can't find anyone to work. The BK down the street is paying $19 an hour right now, and they're having a really hard time finding anyone. No one can afford to live here on $20 an hour. There are people making $50k in SF who are living in tents.

Extreme income inequality is BAD policy for a reason.

But it's adorable that you think you have any concept of what's going on when your comment makes it clear that you do not.

The problem is the denseness of the tech companies. Since it has already happened you are basically fucked until they move their buildings to other cities. Unless you want to force relocation.

Even more of a reason for you to personally do something to help solve a problem that you yourself say you are a part of.

And you complain you make too much money. What are you waiting for?

Right- which is all the more reason why we should just tax the food benefits and give that money directly back to local restaurants.

And, honestly, they're running out of room in SF anyway. Tech companies are increasingly building in the surrounding areas. Though Mountain View has the same law in effect, and it didn't keep my company from leasing a building for a year or two.

Why not just tax tech employees 50% of their income?

You're always calling the Democrats losers because of handouts, are you going to call Trump a loser because he's getting ready to dish out $12 billion in welfare?

Why does it matter if I call him a loser, I didn't vote for him? That being said I respect that he won the election, he is the president of these united states. I respect the people that voted for him and why they voted for him. He was a far better choice than clinton or any other democrat that was running. Personally I don't think we should allow the import of any products from China, so really the tariffs are much less than what I would want.

I don't have to agree with everything the guy does, but in honesty he and his supporters have been treated like shit by democrat fucks for nearly a decade. As far as I'm concerned this is all just deserts.

The money is better spent on text based one-handed blunts of course.

I'm not an Ultracapitalist or anything, but I'd rather see that bubble burst on its own than subsidize businesses that can't compete.

They will get around laws like that pretty easily. It'll never work, those restaurants are going to have to find a way to survive or move to more hospitable locations.
