It starts to became really weird when they look at SK and PixelatedGenitals and start having ideas. You work at Google, you live in Google building with all the google services. Google being progressive and sensitive offer local Google childcare so mom/dad can work. There's google schools, roads, communal smarts cars! And private police alerted by google alarms before normal police gets there. Most of the time the issue is resolved so what are public police even doing there?
Why are google paying so much taxes if they built all of this on their own? This isn't a residential area, with all the roads and building, school and other things, it's corporate property. They should pay less taxes and by the way! No Taxes To a Systematically Racist System! We won't pay for your racism. They'll donate 1 million to whatever Aussie man is running blm at the time and post it on twitter.

This is not lizard-people tin-hat fear mongering, I think it's pretty cool in a way but I see the possibility of creating "progressive" city states in a way. Why wouldn't they try to do in the US what they do in Europe? A politician in Austria or Switzerland made a comment saying that Google pay less taxes than a hot dog vendor on the street under current EU regulations. He's not entirely wrong. Nuke Ireland.

One of the reason TechFag salaries in the SF area are so nuts is because the cost of living is so high, because the chinese keep hiding money from their communist government by buying empty, collapsing houses. If you were Google and just starting doing company housing as benefit, you probably would slash your payroll by 50-60% when people aren't spending $4,000/mo for a 700-sqft studio.

The issue is that while its all well and good to start, what do you do when the first person takes a job at apple and doesn't want to move out?

Maybe something like a contract that says that if they quit Google they can't work for a competitor for 18 months. And they will need to leave corporate grounds(GoogleTown) immediately or they will be escorted out. Maybe have some apartment rotation scheme where everything is identical and you move around like if it was a parking lot, classify it as complimentary hotel rooms for employees so technically you never have an apartment, let them work from home now and then and it's also an office space. Oh now you're working on this project at the east side of google town, just book a communal smart car and go to Harriet Tubman Block so you don't have to commute! It will be a five minute walk to work!
I'm just spitballing a nasty future and even with a wife a and kid that would be an upgrade for the bay area pod people.

John sure does like to play the "queer" card, but steadfastly and actively polices the trannie issue.
Do you think purse strings Frank has anything to do with it?
like he's closeted about being gaysian

John, look I'll pay for a videocard you can't use, a motorcycle you can't ride,a campaign you aren't qualified to even enter...but you have to leave me an out like the implication "oh, bri bri's bi...which doesn't make me a fag"

Does anyone aside from John and a handful of his fellow troon loons really believe that the state's refusal to castrate healthy 8-year-old boys qualifies as denying them healthcare? John is garbage covered with skin.

He's not the only one a lot of progs are trying to be super vague about the AR law and what it actually bans, it's all about the low info voters who don't read past the headline of an article. Which if 2020 was anything to go by make up a frightening amount of the voters in this country.

Last post on this derail, pm/profile if you want to talk more about antfarms for bugmen:

Even if we forget commieformia tenants rights that make it at minimum 90 day process to evict the the unwilling, the company is exposing itself to a whole slew of liability. Not just the usual landlord stuff. But lets say they're sued over wrongful termination. Now its not just lost wages, its pain and suffering for being heaved out on the street and out of company housing.

This wasn't a problem for coal mining towns because no one who wasn't mining coal wanted to be there.

Landlords in NYC are experimenting with a fascinating scheme to get around rent control of "rent discounts". That is, you charge $10,000/mo for rent, but then offer a $7,000/mo discount to the tenant. Rent control limits the amount you can raise rent, but you can simply reduce the 'discount' rate at whatever speed you want.
A theoretical google town could do similar, except for two things.
Firstly, rent discount for employees would likely be a taxable benefit, so you're still paying payroll taxes on it. Second, SF housing prices are such that you would have the very real possibility of that $20,000/mo company apartment being an utter steal in 10 years.

tl;dr It would never work because a disproportionate number of tech workers are indian and you'd never be able to get the smell out.
