If Marc & Keith were out here demanding the city spend money to keep their expensive cars from having their windows broken, then yes, I would absolutely call that out as entitled asshole behavior. The company culture encourages that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/cnutts84/status/1196812893758472195 …

Not to get all fangirl about my employer - every company has issues. And the bigger the company, the more serious the issues. But I have firsthand experience expressing unpopular opinions inside Salesforce, and I’m still here. So far

I’m still here by choice - because yes, I have enormous privilege. I don’t need this job. I could afford to not work for a short time, and I could get another job quickly. I am incredibly lucky, I’ve worked hard, and I have significantly benefited from race & class privilege.

And like everyone else with privilege, I am prone to using that privilege in ways that benefit me at the expense of lower-privilege groups. I’m working on that, on examining the privilege I have. I don’t always get it right.

But I try. So when I see people with privilege who aren’t even trying, who are using it to demand resources they don’t need, who don’t seem to realize the responsibility they hold - like the tech ceo demanding city resources to protect his luxury car - yes. It pushes a button.

Is it _legal_ for a tech ceo to demand cameras? Sure. Is it _moral_ for a tech ceo to demand resources from a city to protect his luxury car, when those resources could be used to fight crime that affects people with less privilege? No.

Replying to @sarahmei
Not a big fan of victim blaming in any form, but fwiw Tesla cars now support a sentry mode, where for the few dollar cost of a USB thumbdrive, it can record its own cameras with a city needing to spend a cent. Seems like it would have worked here:https://www.tesla.com/blog/sentry-mode-guarding-your-tesla …

*without! My point is that it does seem a bit weird to ask the city to install cameras when he already has like 8 of them on his car. Here's a video of it in action:https://twitter.com/TeslaOwnersEBay/status/1196445448996737024 …
