    Which is the greater elite sin -- miserliness or arrogance? When a beef of the Bay Area's bearded billionaires broke out, @Benioff and @Jack had a revealing argument about generosity and humility. My dispatch from Silicon Valley on Prop C, in @NewYorker. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-battle-of-the-big-tech-titans-over-san-franciscos-tax-for-the-homeless?mbid=social_twitter …pic.twitter.com/xfybeoHder

        I think this is such an important episode, because it reveals the complications of seeking justice in what is, more and more, an oligarchy.

        .@Benioff argues eloquently for greater elite generosity. But he wants to use the outsize influence that his money gives him to get voters to endorse his plan. So he is an egalitarian -- and isn't.

        .@Jack wants to defer humbly to Mayor @LondonBreed's homelessness plan. But that stance coincides with a self-interested desire to avoid higher taxes.

        There is little question, in my view, that America's plutocrats have too much money and too much political influence. What's so fascinating here is that two billionaires end up arguing about which is a bigger problem -- their economic hoarding or their power over public life.

        This Gilded Age cartoon that I cite in the piece feels so relevant today. Two billionaires vying over the public good even as the democratic institutions we share are unceremoniously hanged.pic.twitter.com/N8KhGYDZfd

        "deference to the people's will" meaning letting the mayor ignore her campaign promises and, y'know, not letting the san francisco electorate vote on the policy? good to know

        Replying to @gibsopi @AnandWrites and

        this is a dispatch from a land where words like "progressive" and "people's will" are oddly divorced from any actual connection to a tangible reality, or measured against actual action

        If these guys had a come to Jesus moment and got all charitable and stuff, they couldn't give away their wealth as fast as it comes in. That's why they sit around ruminate on crap like this. Ah, the plight of the privileged.pic.twitter.com/laLFpiLWZf

        Maybe they should use property or a wage tax? Localities get money this way. State and federal tax falls on financial transactions.

        I am homeless living in San Francisco and NOT A JUDGE but I side with the so called "miser." The difference: If I am panhandling I might get a quarter from a miser but I will get only a dirty look from the arrogant.

        If you're homeless, how are you tweeting? Are you spending time in the library all day tweeting instead of trying to get to a Navigation Center? Or are you lying?
