The hosts discuss the growing local hostility toward tech employees in San Francisco, exemplified by protests against Google and Apple commuter buses. Dvorak characterizes these movements as an "extortion racket" similar to the Rainbow Coalition, suggesting they will disappear once tech companies provide payoffs. They debate whether this local resentment reflects a broader national trend of anti-business sentiment.

Protests in San Francisco and Oakland against private shuttle buses operated by Google and Facebook are highlighted as symbols of "income inequality." Reports from France 24 describe how residents blame tech workers for rising rents and evictions, leading to acts of vandalism against the buses. The hosts question whether the protests are a genuine grassroots movement or a sophisticated publicity stunt.

### San Francisco Rent Protests, Google Bus and Union Hoaxes

Protests against rising rents in San Francisco recently targeted Google employee shuttle buses. One viral video featured a man berating protesters and telling them to leave the city if they couldn't afford it. The hosts identify the man as a "union actor" and the confrontation as a staged hoax intended to make tech workers appear arrogant and out of touch.
