Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer

mpicpp sends this report from Ars Technica: "Protests against tech giants and their impact on the San Francisco Bay Area economy just got personal. According to an anonymous submission on local news site Indybay, an unknown group of protesters targeted a Google engineer best known for helping to develop the company's self-driving car. ... The protest against Levandowski came the same day that the San Francisco Municipal Transit Authority (SFMTA) voted for the first time to take action regulating Google, Facebook, Apple, and a number of other large tech companies that shuttle workers in private, Wi-Fi-enabled buses from the Bay Area to points south in Silicon Valley."

    in the 1920s in rural USA when it was being connected to the power grid. "He took r jobs!!!!".
    When society no longer values your skillset, its time to upskill of GTFO.

    The protesting slime seem to think they have a god given right to be where they are.

    I guess they could always move everything back out, then rents could be lower so property owners lose money and unemployment could be higher too, surely that's the great solution these brain-dead leftist idiots want.

    Don't worry, your post would probably be just as retarded if you had replied to the intended post.

    Similar to, "Thanks Obamacare" that's popular with asshole republicans.

    This is why the wealthy live in gated communities

    No, it's mostly classism and racism.

    Not wanting to live in a cesspool of feral idiots is not classism or racism..
