Facebook Employees Living in a Garage Hope Zuckerberg Will Learn What's Happening in His Own City (cnbc.com)
At the beginning of the year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg set a goal to visit every state in the U.S. so he could learn more about the millions of people who use the social network every day. But two of his employees tell The Guardian that they wonder when the billionaire is going to get to know his own community. From a report: The employees, a married couple named Nicole and Victor, are both contract workers in the cafeteria at Facebook's Menlo Park, Calif. headquarters. And they wish they, and the problems closer to home, could also get a share of Zuckerberg's attention. "He should learn what's happening in this city," Nicole tells The Guardian. The couple says they can barely make ends meet. Together with their three children, Nicole and Victor share a two-car garage adjacent to Victor's parents' home. They borrow money from friends and family to stay afloat and occasionally resort to payday loans. Although they earn too much to qualify for state benefits, they don't earn enough to afford Facebook's health care plan.
What's shameful is we all wind up paying for them when they have to go on food stamps, get free school lunches, etc. People that can't stop fucking and keep having kid after kid when they have no means to do so should be chemically stopped if they cannot stop themselves. I don't understand why you would keep bringing them into this world if you can't afford them. Those kids are going to fucking hate their parents someday and probably wind up in jail.
What responsibility does Facebook have to you? How much of Facebook's money do you feel entitled to?
The economic Pie is not fixed in size.
Plus, this so-called "larger share" is largely an illusion. Unless you actually believe that Zuk has a couple billion dollars in his checking account.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Exactly. Luckily, not *all* wives are like this, but a large fraction of American women are: it doesn't matter how much money you make, they'll find stuff to spend it all on until you're bankrupt.
