We definitely live in strange times. The perceived inequality, I gather, is the contrast between having an employer wealthy enough to send a clean recent-model Wifi-enabled bus stocked with snacks and soft drinks to pick up its employees versus having a (still wealthy) employer that expects its workers to either spend their own money on gas to power their own rolling depreciating asset to and from the office or on buying monthly fare on a much grungier bus and/or BART commute. If I had to deal with miserable Bay Area traffic I know which option I’d prefer.
In all ways, because Google or Apple would insist that the captive employees break out their laptops, connect to the office intranet via the bus’s Wifi, and get to work during the daylight hours of their endless journey.
