How San Francisco Hazed a Tech Bro (backchannel.com)
An anonymous reader writes: In December 2013 San Francisco's tension with its surging tech class reached a breaking point. Protesters swarmed Google buses. They stood in front of Twitter carrying a coffin labeled "Affordable Housing." Google glassholes were on the rise. In the midst of this, the CEO and founder of AngelHack posted a rant about the homeless. "In downtown SF the degenerates gather like hyenas, spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the city," Greg Gopman wrote. He thought he was becoming a thought leader. Instead, the entire city turned against him. Reviled and suddenly unemployable, Gopman spent a quixotic year spinning up businesses to solve homelessness. His journey is weirdly emblematic of today's startup-fueled San Francisco.
Best thing could happen to that "sanctuary" city would be "the big one" that would drop it into the ocean. My aunt & uncle lived there for over 20 years until about 10 years ago. They had enough of what was once a nice city, that has turned into a bunch of hipster idiots, along with a TON of bums (I deter the term homeless), drug users, illegal aliens. They sold their house and moved to the midwest were you can still walk down the street at night, leave your doors open and prices WON'T blow you out the door! You look at any major city, that has been run (into the ground) by liberals for over 20 years, and you will find it is a diseased cockroach infested city, in a bad state of decay, with social programs (ie:taxpayers) paying these bums to do nothing but sit on their ass, smoke dope all day long, then BITCH that they don't have any money, and it's all someone else fault.
Do not expect to be respected just because you are
Just like there is no free lunch, no one deserves any free respect either
You gotta E. A. R. N each and every single one of it
Republicans or Democrats it does not matter - you just ain't gonna be respected if you prefer to act like a motherfucking idiot
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
At least, I don't live in the magical left-wing world where everything is star spangling awesome, everyone is happy, and there is no wrong doing.
I'd like to, but libtards fuck it up beyond recognition.
