Ultra wealthy tech bros clink champagne glasses as the proles vote to kick the lowest among themselves off any public assistance by testing for any "illegal" drugs in their system before they can collect the paltry assistance that already requires navigating hoops and miles of red tape.

SF isn’t what people think it is. It has the most billionaires per capita in the world. There are few school-age children here, because many move away before their kids reach that age. We don’t have many old people, because many find they can’t afford to retire here. SF is not a real place, it’s a playground for the wealthy.
