Oh yeah, Google, Apple, FB..........there is a reason for it.

SF is an odd place. Some very wealthy assholes out there on wall street manipulating energy and housing prices screwing everyone out of their middle class living... no complaints from the public. Gas prices spiked for no reason... no complaints again. Moved factories overseas and left them with no jobs... no complaints there yet again.

But a few google employees catching a bus, now there is a group of wrong doers who can be blamed for all the troubles.

Well put.

If you've ever watched how pecking orders are established among children on a playground, you quickly take note of the allegiances (sometimes tenuous) formed by the two or three alpha shits. This leaves a fractured, atomized body of "others" who abide by the rules of the former. It helps if these "others" have at least one other soul lower down on the scrotum pole to piss on, to distract from their own apathy.

With adults, it's the exact same dynamic, only a little more odious and on a much bigger scale.

Yeah kinda like that. It was an interesting life lesson when I finally understood it. Kids or adults, they always pick on the weaker one, no one ever picks on the real bully, because that would take courage.

I cannot wait to see N.Y. home prices and rents crash and burn as the Kool-Aid drinkers who believe in these prices get their behinds handed to them on a silver platter......
