San Francisco’s tech overlords have done it again, folks. Salesforce founder Marc Benioff just dropped a jaw-dropping suggestion that would make even the most hardcore “law and order” types cringe: deploying the National Guard to “clean up” our beloved city’s streets.

The Problem with Military-Style Solutions

Let’s get real for a second. Homelessness isn’t a security issue – it’s a complex public health challenge that requires compassion, not combat boots. Benioff’s proposal sounds like something straight out of a dystopian playbook, completely missing the human element of our city’s most vulnerable residents.

Tech Money Can Actually Do Some Good

Instead of militarizing our streets, what if Salesforce and other tech giants actually invested in meaningful solutions? Imagine funding affordable housing, mobile health clinics, or job training programs that could genuinely lift people out of poverty. Crazy concept, right?

A Call for Real Change

San Francisco has always been a city of innovation and empathy. We didn’t become a beacon of progressive change by sending troops to intimidate our neighbors. We did it by believing in community, support, and giving everyone a fair shot.

Benioff might want to take a long, hard look from his towering Salesforce headquarters and realize that true leadership isn’t about pushing people out of sight – it’s about lifting them up.
