I love the Bay Area in many ways, but we are a really NIMBY place when class issues come up.
@Knitting_Kninja I blame a mixture of incompetent local media and a skewed perception of what a living wage is.

@sarahjeong YES. Also, what "work" matters. People who push pixels for a living claiming BART and bus drivers have "easy" work. -
@Knitting_Kninja What's hilarious is that it would be extremely dangerous and inefficient to hire scabs for BART. -
@sarahjeong Yes. We were talking about this yesterday. It's part of what makes the strike effective. -
@Knitting_Kninja You've read that David Graeber bit about bullshit work, right? There's a nice para at the end about Tube workers striking. -
@sarahjeong I haven't. Just googled, reading now.

@Knitting_Kninja It's crazy, people complain about skyrocketing rents & cost of living in the area and in the same breath blame BART union. -
@Knitting_Kninja "If we're not all in the same sinking, untenable middle class boat, IT'S NOT FAIR"
