  • A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of the tech hub’s wealth.
  • wealth divide widened in Silicon Valley at double the rate of the whole US over the past decade

Remember that the wealth divide is bad enough in the US already.

These people know exactly why they support Trump.

So what are you going to do about that?

I mean, if that wealth was divided more evenly it would largely fix homelessness state wide.

I'm not always for "the needs of the many" but in this case? Fuck those households and the families that are part of it. There is nothing you can say to justify this situation, so change the situation.

DO SOMETHING
