Comment on Tech Rides Are Focus of Hostility in Bay Area

Comments

One of the reasons it is easy to throw a stone at a big white bus is because it dehumanizes it's occupants. This makes it easy for people to treat them differently.

The target is not the employees. The anger towards the city, which has failed to provide good public transportation for it's residents.

The tech companies recognized that the public transportation sucks and built their own. The protestors could just stand outside of city-hall, but disrupting tech-buses is a much louder and more effective message.
