He took it over in 1999, so that's not much prior. You're conflating SF Gov with SF culture. Mayor London Breed didn't support Prop C, eh?

- Kalium 6y ago> Mayor London Breed didn't support Prop C, eh? I guess Benioff represents SF culture, while Breed doesn't? It's perhaps worth remembering that Benioff - who also bought his name on a hospital - got a pass well before Prop C came along.
- carapace 6y ago> I guess Benioff represents SF culture, while Breed doesn't? In re: Prop C, yes. > It's perhaps worth remembering that Benioff - who also bought his name on a hospital - Really? Which one? Huh, so he did: https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/ https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/ Okay, I hate him now. (Just kidding. I will admit that I am not upset by this in the same way that Zuckerberg's thing makes me feel. FWIW, I'll examine that personally on my own time.) > got a pass well before Prop C came along. You mean he didn't suddenly become cool circa Prop C? ;-P Well met Kalium.
- michaelt 6y agoI find it slightly ironic that in one post you're complaining that when it comes to supporting the community "nobody cares, except to criticize", then a post or two later a dude's gifted a load of money to a children's hospital and you describe that as "buying his name on a hospital"
- Kalium 6y agoI was deliberating mirroring my interlocutor's phrasing to make a point. One was resented, and used as a point against the person. The other passed unremarked. As a rhetorical flourish, it did it was intended to do and exposed an apparent double standard.
