Note to future demonstrators and #NoKings attendees: Wear thrifted or older and unidentifiable clothing to protests and travel early, anonymously if possible. They are looking for scapegoats. What a colossal waste of taxpayers dollars. I really hate these guys.

I'm on record saying that the soulless tech bros would use Roomba type cleaners rather than hiring a janitor. After the initial flush of construction jobs (likely imported workers) the "jobs" in data centers will be minimal yet tax break deals are cut on the promise of J.O.B.S. And here we are.
