A conspiracy fan might want to do some research and check and see whether or not Facebook made some campaign donations to see that his was passed.
If they cut out the benefit, they are the bad guys. If the city does it, then they are not.
Just throwing it out there.
Likely not the case. Tech companies in the South Bay have an interest in keeping people on campus for lunch and dinner because it encourages employees to stay focused on work, squelches the potential for sensitive information to be overheard in a public space, and limits opportunities for employee poaching. Mountain View is a dog-eat-dog world. All these benefits are fundamental to the companies' employee-retention efforts. That's why they offer everything from on-site chair massage services to childcare centers.

What a bunch of leftist tyrants deciding where people eat and if they can use a straw. Seems to me that the {D} party is out in the open attacking peoples freedom. I use this phrase democratic tyranny and this is a great example because elected officials made and passed the law. Democratic tyranny is real and I predict one day will over take the U S and we will have a elected tyrant in the WH and his party controlling congress.
Did I read the word "Democratic" or "leftist" anywhere in that story? Hmmm ...
Seems like these liberal cities are desperate to extract revenue from the companies that operate there. First, Seattle tried their per head tax and now the Bay Area cities want to force employees to eat at local restaurants.

Isn't a scheme like this better than a straight tax? What is the problem?
