Connie Leyva and Steven Glazer: Meta & Google Garnered Tens of Billions of Dollars in Q1. Should Tech Pay Their Share to Mitigate the Impact of their Products? Tax Big Tech to Mitigate Harm on Kids

We have a common and accepted practice of requiring housing developers, or any business that creates an impact on its neighbors, to mitigate the damage to communities from their actions. These fees pay for traffic, school and environmental impacts. We should now assess the same cost to these technology platforms for the harms they have caused to California teens, the public school system and independent news reporting. No one likes new taxes, but most people understand the necessity if the money is going to compelling needs, with accountability and oversight. In this case, the new proposed tax would only be paid by the entities causing the harm. Last month, Google, Meta and Amazon reported first-quarter profits in the tens of billions of dollars.

Arthur Drooker’s 36 Views of the Golden Gate Bridge! ArtWalk is Tuesday, June 3rd from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the MV Chamber, 85 Throckmorton Ave.

After photographing the Golden Gate Bridge intensively for two years, I indeed came to see it anew. What I found most impressive, even more than the span’s status as an engineering and architectural icon, is its power as a symbol of possibility. When it was first proposed, naysayers declared there was no way to build what was then the tallest and longest suspension bridge in the world over such a treacherous strait. Undaunted, Joseph Strauss, the Golden Gate’s visionary chief engineer, replied, ā€œOur worldĀ  today Ā revolves completely around things which at one time couldn’t be done because they were supposedly beyond the limits of human endeavor. Don’t be afraid to dream.ā€ I dedicateĀ Thirty-Six Views of the Golden Gate BridgeĀ to this spirit of possibility.
