Some officials bristle at tech executives’ sudden interest in local politics. “I just see a cynical effort to control the city,” said Dean Preston, a member of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors who is up for re-election. Tech’s attempt to back new leaders and policies is a blatant attempt to “buy political power and reshape the rules for their own economic benefit,” he said. These cats play dirty. And so does the media. And it will no doubt play out just like that right here in this thread. The thing is many of us are or have been to SF recently and have eyes and a brain. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
