      Question for SF authorities: Are the sidewalks being used as intended?

      And, for the record, I've been known to nap at the office. Not in the OR, but at work.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I think it might be worth asking whether building bedrooms in an office complex is necessarily a good thing. If Musk is pressuring his folks not to go home this could be a concern.

        I was in San Francisco a month ago. I wouldn’t live there. $10 for a beer and there were junkies everywhere. I picked up a very nasty stomach bug after riding in a taxi that smelled strongly of vomit.

        I was only joking

          It's a private company; he can do whatever he wants, amirite?

          If you don't like it, build your own bedrooms.

              Of course. The article doesn't specify that he has, does it?

              Here's the original story:

              https://www.forbes.com/sites/cyrusfarivar/2022/12/05/elon-musk-twitter-bedrooms/?sh=42ef0147d791

              sad little conference-room sleeping quarters

              modest bedrooms featuring unmade mattresses, drab curtains and giant conference-room telepresence monitors

              bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table and what appears to be a queen bed, replete with a table lamp and two office armchairs just begging for convivial workplace collaboration.

              the beds are for remaining “hardcore” staffers to be able to stay overnight at the office. “It’s not a good look,” they said. “It’s yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just like, beds showed up.”

              They noted that there was trash in one room’s trash can, which made it seem like someone had stayed there.

              Where I used to work provided sleeping quarters as well. I'll venture a guess that whatever Twitter offers is a far sight better than where I slept every 6th night for 25 years.

              But yeah, if laws and ordinances were broken, that needs to be corrected. I'm not seeing it in the article.

                One of the comments to the Forbes article:

                "Seeing situations from various perspectives brings greater love and under standing. Then all benefit from the realizations that occur. Life should be about win win for everyone and through hard work and consistent effort great things are achieved. Elon is a great and magnanimous person who has a lot of love for humanity a great and loving man. There needs to be a shift in the way he is viewed to much more positive he is a great leader and a great light. I pray for his protection that he be surrounded by a bubble of divine protection and love always."

                .
                .

                She could easily be talking about Chairman Mao!
