Love this, and dont want to throw anything against the wall cause you always make me feel the possibilty. This makes me think of our only distant cousin to the Finnish baby box, the beautiful box of books that stuff and Ayesha Curry give every Oakland public School child during the winter holidays. It changes every year and there are different ones for each age group. It comes in a nice box with beautiful stickers (I think it's a company, Literati, they just pay for). And I love that everyone gets it. And it's such a bummer that we only have nice rich people to very infrequently do things like this.
I love this for the kids of Oakland! Thanks Ayesha Curry! And I agree- it sends a different message when it comes from the government (namely "we are part of a society" rather than "it's cool that one of the better rich people feels some degree of attachment to our community.").
Wow, go Steph and Ayesha! To your point about being grateful for rich people’s largesse and Garrett’s mention of a transit center, the San Francisco Transbay Terminal is beautiful (the rooftop garden!), but its name starts with ‘Salesforce’. Also, the San Francisco General Hospital amended its name years ago with the Meta guy’s name (University of California San Francisco folks who staff and administer the hospital were asked not to call it ‘The Zuck’).
I fully agree that we must demand delight and joy from our government. Let’s change our political philosophy from Don’t Tread On Me to We Bring You Joy.
Love that change in political philosophy, and also agree that the beautiful new transit center in SF would be thaaaat much better without a corporate prefix (Salesforce, just pay your taxes and I'm sure there would have been enough money to pay for the center without having to get a sponsorship).
