5 shuttle buses chartered by Google, Apple apparently vandalized on I-280, possibly with pellet gun

Shuttle buses carrying Apple and Google employees were apparently vandalized Tuesday while traveling to and from the South Bay, officials said. No injuries were reported.

Five buses driving in the northbound and southbound directions of Interstate 280 between Highway 84 and Highway 85 were damaged during the Tuesday morning and evening commute, said California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel. Four buses were chartered by Apple and one by Google, the officer said. The Apple campus is located off I-280 in Cupertino. Google headquarters is in Mountain View off Highway 101.

According to Montiel, several bus windows were damaged and cracked, possibly by pellet guns, BB guns or rocks.

According to an article on TechCrunch

In response, we've learned that Apple has rerouted the bus routes for employees living in San Francisco, adding 30-45 minutes of commute time each way, as the company works with authorities to see what exactly is going on.

    You injected the 400K number, which isn't likely the correct value on a rent controlled property anywhere short of the moon. I saw you palm that card.

    I did invent that number because I didn't think it was relevant. Pick whatever number you want.

    You want a clean answer, take care of our poor, take your metaphorical loaf from each of the bakers, no one needs to starve, no one needs to be homeless. You can call it welfare, or UBI, or charity, I don't care what, but having a disposable portion of the population isn't going to work forever.

    Okay, that sounds good. Now that you have made your position clear, I expect you to go out and donate $50k (or $100k, or whatever number you want) to a random homeless stranger on the street because he doesn't have a home. I mean you aren't just being generous with somebody else's money that you have no stake in, right? You are willing to put your money where your mouth is and give up half your loaf of bread, right?

    Your rhetoric is awful, I pay for and support social programs already. I actively advocate for their expanse. That is putting my money where my mouth is. I would ask the same of you, but you haven't advocated any position at all other than shitting on everyone else. You wanted a clean solution, I gave you one. Feel free to come up with others, but making unfounded and ridiculous demands of strangers on the internet is perhaps the stupidest solution I have heard yet.

        No more than you are a murderer who personally kills people starving in the streets. But you bring us to an important point, at what point will the underclass literally take what they need, likely en masse. Right or wrong. Will they stop at what they need, or once that line is crossed will they take what they want as well. Who wins then?
