From the New York Times. Wednesday March 21 2018




“Facebook has the attitude that if you are really a good employee
you will live, eat and sleep Facebook,” he said. “That creates
insularity, which is a big problem in Silicon Valley already.”


Welcome to Zucktown, where drudges cavort,
As they quaff kombucha down by the quart.
Their homes are quite modest, but of the best stuff,
The air seems so winsome, with clouds of pearl fluff.


The schools are pitch perfect; the trash doesn’t smell;
The sidewalks are marbled with dainty seashell.
Flowers and trees grow with quiet profusion;
Republicans live in real quiet seclusion.


All workers can walk to their jobs, or commute
On pink bicycles that are lightweight and cute.
They work for long hours, and see not the light
Of sunset when they traipse on home for the night.


In fact there are hammocks and fleecy down cots
To sleep on at work, with soft macrame knots --
So no one need leave their nice office unless
It is for a seminar or tooth abscess.


Even the graveyard is tidy and slick,
And no one is laid there unless they’ve been sick.
So: Welcome to Zucktown, the city that cares

If you have German or Swedish au pairs!
