San Francisco (CNN Business) Two of San Francisco's wealthiest tech leaders clashed on Twitter over the best way to address the city's homeless problem. 
  
 Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is pushing for a tax on San Francisco's largest companies to raise money for homeless efforts. Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey is against the tax, and wants to let the city's new mayor, London Breed, come up with alternative plans. 
  
 "These tech CEOs, they need to realize if they want to do business in San Francisco and use all of our civic resources, and in some cases have gotten mid-Market tax breaks, then they should be more than happy to give a small amount — which is what it is for these companies — to help us focus on our number one issue," Benioff told CNN Business in a phone interview Friday afternoon. 
  
 Benioff is spending money to promote ballot Proposition C , which would tax large companies based in the city. The tax would vary, but come out to about 0.5 percent on businesses' gross receipts above $50 million a year. 
  
 It would raise up $300 million annually to address homelessness by building more housing, increasing mental health treatment, and adding shelter beds. That is double what the city currently spends a year on the issue. 
  
 Salesforce is the largest employer in the city, and Benioff, a San Francisco native, is very active in local issues. He has been a major donor to San Francisco and Oakland public schools, and recently helped raise $37 million for the Heading Home Campaign, which aims to get families with children off the streets. 
  
 "I want to help fix the homeless problem in SF and California. I don't believe this (Prop C) is the best way to do it," said Dorsey in a Tweet reply to Benioff on Friday. 
  
 I want to help fix the homeless problem in SF and California. I don't believe this (Prop C) is the best way to do it. I support Mayor @LondonBreed and @Scott_Wiener's commitment to address this the right way. Mayor Breed was elected to fix this. I trust her. https://t.co/EsxapfDvtI — jack (@jack) October 12, 2018 
  
 Benioff replied by asking for examples of how Dorsey has helped and what donations he's made. Dorsey called the question a "distraction" and said he wants to support Mayor London Breed's efforts. 
  
 Mayor Breed has come out against the proposition, citing concerns about oversight and accountability for how the money is used. There are also concerns it could lead to layoffs or cause businesses to relocate, Breed has said. Breed wants to know more about how it will impact the local economy. 
  
 "I do not believe doubling what we spend on homelessness without new accountability, when we don't even spend what we have now efficiently, is good government," said Breed in a statement. "I absolutely do agree business can pay more to address our homeless crisis, which is why I will lead the effort to do this the right way as Mayor, and I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with Marc and others do that." 
  
 In a statement, a spokesperson for Square said: "Homelessness in San Francisco is a humanitarian crisis. We support Mayor London Breed, Senator Scott Wiener, and Assembly member David Chiu's calls for a consensus response to homelessness, and we are eager to collaborate with City Hall, local organizations, and other businesses on a unified approach to this issue. Prop C is not that approach." 
  
 Benioff says he recently got a call from the mayor asking for $8 million to fund a new shelter. 
  
 "If she had Prop C, she wouldn't have to call for that money. It would already have been given to her. Seems pretty straightforward to me," said Benioff. 
  
 The debate mirrors a similar contentious battle in Seattle this past summer. The city had proposed a new corporate head tax to raise money for homeless service. Amazon led the charge to stop the tax from being passed. 
  
 San Francisco's tax could fare better. A local homeless advocate group raised the signatures to get it on to November's ballot. It has support from other large companies like Cisco, as well as Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Jackie Speier. And Benioff is ready to fight for it. 
  
 "I didn't realize until this morning that Jack Dorsey was not going to support it," said Benioff. "The question is how much is he giving back to our public hospitals and schools and to our homeless programs. The only way we're going to make our city better is if we tap the incredible wealth that it's generating." 
  
 Benioff, who says he talks to Dorsey regularly, has been paying to promote tweets supporting the proposition. 
  
 "I'm glad that Jack tweeted that because we need to have a pubic discussion about homelessness and how we're going to solve it." 
  
 Dorsey tweeted late Friday that discussions were under way. 
  
 "Marc and I talked on the phone. Also talked with Mayor London this afternoon. We're all talking now and aligned to fix this issue as fast as we can. Will keep everyone updated," he said. ||||| Add this Tweet to your website by copying the code below. مزید جانیئے

 Twitter and Salesforce CEOs bicker over who is helping the homeless more 
  
 The CEOs of two of the world’s most prominent tech companies got into an online spat on Friday over who was doing the most to address homelessness. 
  
 The Salesforce CEO, Marc Benioff, and Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, were tweeting at each other about a proposed tax on high-earning San Francisco businesses. It would redirect millions of dollars to help thousands of people who live on the streets, including outside the headquarters of both companies. 
  
 Benioff tweeted that he was in favor of the tax. Dorsey tweeted that he was not – prompting a displeased response. 
  
 “Hi Jack. Thanks for the feedback,” Benioff quipped. “Which homeless programs in our city are you supporting? Can you tell me what Twitter and Square & you are in for & at what financial levels? How much have you given to heading home our $37M initiative to get every homeless child off the streets?” 
  
 Benioff was referring to an initiative he is spearheading for homeless families. In May he announced that he and his wife would match a $1.5m donation from his company’s philanthropic arm. 
  
 In a second tweet, he alleged that Dorsey had failed to contribute to the city’s homeless programs, public hospitals and public schools, despite earning billions and receiving a tax break to relocate in a deprived part of town. 
  
 Dorsey did not respond. He has taken on the housing crisis in different ways, and recently threw his weight behind a controversial bill that would have made it more difficult for cities to say no to development.

 Both billionaires have grown their businesses in the heart of San Francisco, where roughly 7,500 people sleep on the sidewalks each night. The tech boom has contributed to rising housing costs that have exacerbated the problem. 
  
 Tech industry moguls have come under fire in their past for their responses to homelessness, from supporting a controversial proposition, passed in 2016, restricting tents on sidewalks, to public rants. One tech company founder referred to homeless people as “riff-raff” and complained about having to encounter them. 
  
 If voters approve the tax ballot measure, called Proposition C, next month, an estimated $250-$300m in additional revenue would go toward housing the homeless, providing rental assistance and bolstering mental health services and shelters. According to an analysis conducted by the city’s Office of the Controller, about 300 to 400 businesses would be affected. Fifty percent of them would be in the information and financial services sectors. 
  
 A slew of left-leaning organizations and representatives, including the House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, support the tax, but the newly elected mayor, London Breed, has come out against it, citing concerns that it could put a chill on economic growth. 
  
 “We all recognize the crisis on our streets; we see it every day,” she wrote on Medium. “So I understand why Proposition C sounds appealing, and I know those who support it are well-intentioned. But as Mayor, I must weigh more than popularity and good intentions. I must consider the long-term impacts on our City.” 
  
 Breed has been criticized for her position, especially now that Benioff – whose business will be among those expected to pay the tax – has become so vocal in his support. 
  
 “Homelessness is all of our responsibility which is why we are supporting Prop C,” he stated in a tweet now pinned to the top of his page. “Together, as one San Francisco, we can take on our city’s most complex & difficult problems. As SF’s largest employer we recognize we are part of the solution.” ||||| Add this Tweet to your website by copying the code below. مزید جانیئے

 پیش منظر ||||| On Friday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff publicly sparred over a controversial proposal to fight homelessness in San Francisco. 
  
 When Dorsey voiced his opposition to a bill that would increase taxes on big businesses to raise money for homeless services, Benioff questioned his fellow CEO's personal and financial commitment to the problem while highlighting tax breaks Twitter has previously received. 
  
 Proposition C, which will appear on San Francisco ballots in November, proposes a new tax on the city's largest businesses that could generate up to $300 million annually to aid its homelessness crisis. Benioff has strongly endorsed Prop C, pledging up to $2 million to support the measure, which could cost Salesforce up to $10 million in additional taxes a year. 
  
 Dorsey, however, has sided with the proposition's detractors, including San Francisco Mayor London Breed and state Sen. Scott Wiener, who argue that the proposition lacks the proper accountability and oversight. 
  
 After Dorsey disagreed with Benioff's support of Prop C on Twitter, Benioff fired back by asking Dorsey, who is also CEO of Square, about his and his companies' financial contributions to fighting homelessness. 
  
 For years, Dorsey's companies have benefited from the Central Market Tax Exclusion, commonly called the "Twitter Tax Break," which encourages companies to maintain offices in a rough neighborhood in San Francisco. 
  
 Dorsey responded by telling Benioff that he was "distracting" from his support of Mayor Breed: 
  
 Benioff and Dorsey have a history: The Salesforce CEO tried to buy Twitter in 2016. 
  
 Overall, more than 7,000 people experience homelessness in San Francisco, where detritus indicative of human suffering on the street stands in stark contrast with the city's overall tech-fueled wealth. ||||| Add this Tweet to your website by copying the code below. مزید جانیئے

What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?
– Two of the world's top tech CEOs disagree about how to ease homelessness in San Francisco—a city where extreme wealth glitters alongside roughly 7,500 living on the streets, the Guardian reports. At issue is a proposed tax on wealthy city businesses that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff supports and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey opposes. "I want to help fix the homeless problem in SF and California," tweeted Dorsey on Friday, but this tax isn't "the best way to do it." Retorts Benioff: "Which homeless programs in our city are you supporting? Can you tell me what Twitter and Square & you are in for & at what financial levels?" Dorsey calls Benioff's questions "distracting," while the Salesforce CEO scolds his fellow exec for fighting "a relatively small tax." Called Proposition C, the ballot measure would tax big-city companies by varying amounts—roughly 0.5% on the gross receipts of businesses making over $50 million a year, per CNN. The goal: Raise up to $300 million annually for shelter beds, mental health treatment, and housing, which would double current city funding. But San Francisco's new mayor, London Breed, also opposes Prop C, citing accountability and oversight issues as well as possible layoffs or companies fleeing the city. Meanwhile,Twitter is among companies benefiting from the so-called "Twitter Tax Break" for having offices in rougher neighborhoods, per CNBC. Now Benioff, Dorsey, and Breed are apparently huddling: "We're all talking now and aligned to fix this issue..." tweeted Dorsey later Friday. "Will keep everyone updated." (This homeless man charging a phone at Dunkin' got a rude surprise.)
San Francisco (CNN Business) Två av San Franciscos rikaste techledare krockade på Twitter om det bästa sättet att ta itu med stadens hemlösa problem. Salesforces VD Marc Benioff driver på för en skatt på San Franciscos största företag för att samla in pengar till hemlösa insatser. Twitter och Squares VD Jack Dorsey är emot skatten, och vill låta stadens nya borgmästare, London Breed, komma med alternativa planer. "Dessa tech VD:ar, de måste inse om de vill göra affärer i San Francisco och använda alla våra medborgerliga resurser, och i vissa fall har fått mid-Market skattepauser, då de borde vara mer än glada att ge en liten summa - vilket är vad det är för dessa företag - för att hjälpa oss att fokusera på vår nummer ett fråga," Benioff berättade CNN Business i en telefonintervju fredag eftermiddag. Benioff spenderar pengar för att främja valsedeln Proposition C , som skulle beskatta stora företag baserade i staden. Skatten skulle variera, men komma ut till cirka 0,5 procent på företagens bruttointäkter över $50 miljoner per år. Den skulle årligen uppbringa 300 miljoner dollar för att ta itu med hemlösheten genom att bygga fler bostäder, öka mentalvården och lägga till skyddsrumssängar. Det är dubbelt så mycket som staden för närvarande spenderar ett år på frågan. Salesforce är den största arbetsgivaren i staden, och Benioff, en San Francisco infödd, är mycket aktiv i lokala frågor. Han har varit en stor bidragsgivare till San Francisco och Oaklands offentliga skolor, och hjälpte nyligen till att samla in 37 miljoner dollar till "Hiting Home Campaign", som syftar till att få bort barnfamiljer från gatorna. "Jag vill hjälpa till att lösa problemet med hemlösa i SF och Kalifornien. Jag tror inte att detta (Prop C) är det bästa sättet att göra det," sade Dorsey i ett Tweet svar till Benioff på fredag. Jag vill hjälpa till att lösa problemet med hemlösa i SF och Kalifornien. Jag tror inte att det här är det bästa sättet att göra det. Jag stöder borgmästare @LondonBreed och @Scott_Wieners åtagande att ta itu med detta på rätt sätt. Borgmästare Breed valdes för att fixa det här. Jag litar på henne. https://t.co/EsxapfDvtI — jack (@jack) 12 oktober 2018 svarade Benioff med att fråga efter exempel på hur Dorsey har hjälpt till och vilka donationer han har gjort. Dorsey kallade frågan för en "distraktion" och sade sig vilja stödja borgmästaren London Breeds insatser. Borgmästare Breed har motsatt sig förslaget och åberopat farhågor om tillsyn och ansvarsskyldighet för hur pengarna används. Det finns också farhågor om att det kan leda till uppsägningar eller få företag att flytta, har Breed sagt. Breed vill veta mer om hur det kommer att påverka den lokala ekonomin. "Jag tror inte att fördubbla vad vi spenderar på hemlöshet utan ny ansvarsskyldighet, när vi inte ens spenderar vad vi har nu effektivt, är bra regering," sade Breed i ett uttalande. "Jag håller absolut med om att affärer kan betala mer för att ta itu med vår bostadslösa kris, vilket är anledningen till att jag kommer att leda ansträngningarna att göra detta på rätt sätt som borgmästare, och jag ser fram emot att fortsätta att arbeta i partnerskap med Marc och andra gör det." I ett uttalande sade en talesperson för Square: "Hemlöshet i San Francisco är en humanitär kris. Vi stöder borgmästare London Breed, senator Scott Wiener, och församlingsmedlem David Chius krav på en konsensus svar på hemlöshet, och vi är angelägna om att samarbeta med stadshuset, lokala organisationer, och andra företag om en enhetlig strategi i denna fråga. Försl. C är inte det tillvägagångssättet." Benioff säger att borgmästaren ringde nyligen och bad om åtta miljoner dollar för att finansiera ett nytt härbärge. "Om hon hade Prop C, skulle hon inte behöva kalla på de pengarna. Det skulle redan ha getts till henne. Verkar ganska rättframt för mig," sade Benioff. Debatten speglar en liknande strid i Seattle i somras. Staden hade föreslagit en ny företagshuvudskatt för att samla in pengar till hemlöstjänst. Amazon ledde åtalet för att stoppa skatten från att passeras. San Franciscos skatt skulle gå bättre. En lokal hemlös förespråkargrupp höjde namnunderskrifterna för att få det vidare till novembers valsedel. Den har stöd från andra stora företag som Cisco, samt representanterna Nancy Pelosi och Jackie Speier. Och Benioff är redo att slåss för det. »Jag insåg inte förrän i morse, att Jack Dorsey inte tänkte stödja den», sade Benioff. "Frågan är hur mycket han ger tillbaka till våra offentliga sjukhus och skolor och till våra hemlösa program. Det enda sättet vi kan göra vår stad bättre är om vi utnyttjar den otroliga rikedom som den genererar." Benioff, som säger att han pratar med Dorsey regelbundet, har betalat för att främja tweets som stödjer förslaget. "Jag är glad att Jack twittrade det eftersom vi behöver ha en pubic diskussion om hemlöshet och hur vi ska lösa det." Dorsey twittrade sent på fredagen att diskussioner var på gång. "Marc och jag pratade i telefon. Jag pratade också med borgmästare London i eftermiddags. Vi pratar nu och är redo att lösa det här så fort vi kan. Kommer att hålla alla uppdaterade," sade han.

Salesforces VD, Marc Benioff, och Twitters VD, Jack Dorsey, twittrade på varandra om en föreslagen skatt på högvärdiga San Francisco-företag. Det skulle omdirigera miljontals dollar för att hjälpa tusentals människor som bor på gatorna, även utanför huvudkontoret för båda företagen. Benioff twittrade att han var för skatten. Dorsey twittrade att han inte var det – vilket föranledde ett missbelåtet svar. — Hej, Jack. Tack för feedbacken, "Benioff quipped. “Vilka hemlösa program i vår stad stödjer du? Kan du berätta vad Twitter och Square & du är inne på och på vilka finansiella nivåer? Hur mycket har du gett för att åka hem vårt initiativ på 37 miljoner dollar för att få bort alla hemlösa barn från gatorna?” Benioff syftade på ett initiativ han går i spetsen för hemlösa familjer. I maj meddelade han att han och hans fru skulle matcha en donation på 1,5 miljoner dollar från sitt företags filantropiska arm. I en andra tweet hävdade han att Dorsey hade misslyckats med att bidra till stadens hemlösa program, offentliga sjukhus och offentliga skolor, trots att han tjänade miljarder och fick en skattepaus för att flytta i en eftersatt del av staden. Dorsey svarade inte. Han har tagit sig an bostadskrisen på olika sätt, och kastade nyligen sin tyngd bakom en kontroversiell proposition som skulle ha försvårat för städer att säga nej till utveckling. Varför är San Francisco täckt av mänsklig avföring? Nathan Robinson Läs mer Båda miljardärerna har vuxit i hjärtat av San Francisco, där cirka 7.500 människor sover på trottoarerna varje natt. Den tekniska högkonjunkturen har bidragit till stigande boendekostnader som förvärrat problemet. Teknikbranschens moguler har hamnat i brand i sitt förflutna för sina reaktioner på hemlöshet, från att stödja ett kontroversiellt förslag, som antogs 2016, begränsa tält på trottoarer, till offentliga ränder. En tech company grundare kallade hemlösa människor som “riff-raff” och klagade över att behöva stöta på dem. Om väljarna godkänner skattevalsedeln, kallas Proposition C, nästa månad, skulle en uppskattad $ 250-$300m i ytterligare intäkter gå till att inhysa hemlösa, ge hyreshjälp och stärka mental hälsovård och skyddsrum. Enligt en analys som utfördes av stadens Office of the Controller skulle omkring 300 till 400 företag påverkas. Femtio procent av dem skulle vara inom informations- och finanstjänstesektorerna. En massa vänsterextrema organisationer och företrädare, däribland kammarens minoritetsledare Nancy Pelosi, stöder skatten, men den nyvalde borgmästaren London Breed har motsatt sig den och åberopar oron för att den kan sätta en rysning i den ekonomiska tillväxten. – Vi känner alla igen krisen på våra gator; vi ser den varje dag, skrev hon på Medium. — Så jag förstår, varför proposition C låter tilltalande, och jag vet, att de, som stödja den, äro välmenta. Men som borgmästare måste jag väga mer än popularitet och goda avsikter. Jag måste tänka på de långsiktiga effekterna på vår stad.” Breed har kritiserats för sin position, särskilt nu när Benioff – vars verksamhet kommer att vara bland dem som förväntas betala skatten – har blivit så högljudd i sitt stöd. “Hemlöshet är allt vårt ansvar vilket är anledningen till att vi stöder Prop C,” sade han i en tweet nu fast på toppen av sin sida. “Tillsammans, som en San Francisco, kan vi ta oss an vår stads mest komplexa & svåra problem.

I fredags sparrade Twitters VD Jack Dorsey och Salesforces VD Marc Benioff offentligt över ett kontroversiellt förslag att bekämpa hemlösheten i San Francisco.

Proposition C, som kommer att visas på San Francisco-valsedlar i november, föreslår en ny skatt på stadens största företag som skulle kunna generera upp till 300 miljoner dollar årligen för att hjälpa dess hemlöshetskris. Benioff har starkt ställt sig bakom Prop C, och räknar upp till $2 miljoner för att stödja åtgärden, vilket kan kosta Salesforce upp till $10 miljoner i extra skatter per år. Dorsey har dock ställt sig på förslagets belackares sida, bland annat San Franciscos borgmästare London Breed och delstaten Sen. Scott Wiener, som hävdar att förslaget saknar den korrekta ansvarigheten och tillsynen. Efter att Dorsey inte höll med Benioffs stöd av Prop C på Twitter sköt Benioff tillbaka genom att fråga Dorsey, som också är VD för Square, om hans och hans företags ekonomiska bidrag till kampen mot hemlöshet. Dorseys företag har under flera år dragit nytta av den centrala skatteundantaget, som brukar kallas "Twitter Tax Break", vilket uppmuntrar företag att behålla kontor i en tuff stadsdel i San Francisco. Dorsey svarade med att berätta för Benioff att han "skiljde" från sitt stöd av borgmästare Breed: Benioff och Dorsey har en historia: Salesforces VD försökte köpa Twitter 2016. Totalt upplever mer än 7 000 människor hemlöshet i San Francisco, där detritus tyder på mänskligt lidande på gatan står i skarp kontrast till stadens totala teknikbelastade rikedom.

San Francisco (CNN Business) Two of San Francisco's richest tech leaders clashed on Twitter about the best way to address the city's homeless problems. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff pushes for a tax on San Francisco's largest company to raise money for homeless efforts. Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey are against the tax, and want to allow the city's new mayor, London Breed, to come up with alternative plans. "These tech CEOs, they have to realize if they want to do business in San Francisco and use all our civic resources, and in some cases have received mid-market tax breaks, as they should be more than happy to give a small sum - which is what it is for these companies - to help us focus on our number one issue," Benioff told CNN Business in a phone interview Friday afternoon. Benioff spends money to promote the Bill C ballot, which would tax large companies based in the city. The tax would vary, but come out to about 0.5 percent on corporate gross revenue over $50 million per year. It would annually raise $300 million to address homelessness by building more housing, increasing mental health care, and adding shelter beds. It is twice as much as the city currently spends a year on the issue. Salesforce is the largest employer in the city, and Benioff, a San Francisco native, is very active in local affairs.

Dorsey called the issue a "distraction" and said he wanted to support the efforts of Mayor London Breed. Mayor Breed has opposed the proposal, citing concerns about supervision and accountability of how the money is spent. There are also concerns that it may lead to redundancies or cause companies to move, Breed has said. Breed wants to know more about how it will affect the local economy. "I don't think doubling what we spend on homelessness without new accountability, when we don't even spend what we have now effectively, is good government," said Breed in a statement. "I absolutely agree that business can pay more to deal with our homeless crisis, which is why I will lead the efforts to do this properly as mayor, and I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with Marc and others doing so." In a statement, a spokesperson for Square said, "Homelessness in San Francisco is a humanitarian crisis. We support Mayor London Breed, Senator Scott Wiener, and Assembly Member David Chiu's call for a consensus response to homelessness, and we are keen to cooperate with City Hall, local organizations, and other companies on a unified approach to this issue. Prop. C is not that approach." Benioff says the mayor recently called asking for $8 million to fund a new shelter. "If she had Prop C, she wouldn't have to call that money.

A local homeless advocate group raised the signatures to get it on to November's ballot.

In a second tweet, he claimed that Dorsey had failed to contribute to the city's homeless programs, public hospitals, and public schools, despite earning billions and receiving a tax break to move in a deprived part of the city. Dorsey didn't answer. He has addressed the housing crisis in various ways, and recently threw his weight behind a controversial bill that would have made it harder for cities to say no to development. Why is San Francisco covered in human feces? Nathan Robinson Read more Both billionaires have grown in the heart of San Francisco, where about 7,500 people sleep on the sidewalks every night. The technological boom has contributed to rising housing costs that exacerbated the problem. The technology industry's moguls have been set on fire in their past for their reactions to homelessness, from supporting a controversial proposal, adopted in 2016, limiting tents on sidewalks, to public stripes. A tech company founder called homeless people as “riff-raff” and complained about having to run into them. If voters approve the tax ballot, called Proposition C, next month, an estimated $250-$300m in additional revenue would go to housing homeless people, providing rental help and strengthening mental health care and shelters. According to an analysis carried out by the city's Office of the Controller, about 300 to 400 companies would be affected. Fifty percent of them would be in the information and financial services sectors. A lot of left-wing organisations and representatives, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, support the tax, but the newly elected mayor London Breed has opposed it and invokes the concern that it can put a chill in economic growth. “We all recognize the crisis in our streets; we see it every day,” she wrote on Medium. — So I understand, why Proposition C sounds appealing, and I know that those who support it are well-intentioned. But as mayor, I have to weigh more than popularity and good intentions. I have to think about the long-term effects on our city.” Breed has been criticized for his position, especially now that Benioff – whose business will be among those who are expected to pay the tax – has become so vocal in his support. “Homelessness is all our responsibility which is why we support Prop C,” he said in a tweet now stuck on top of his side. “Together, as a San Francisco, we can address our city’s most complex & difficult problems. As SF’s largest employer, we realize that we are part of the solution.” Add this Tweet to your website by copying the code below. Add this video to your website by copying the code below. On Friday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff publicly spared over a controversial proposal to combat homelessness in San Francisco. When Dorsey voiced his opposition to a bill that would increase taxes on large corporations to raise money for homeless services, Benioff questioned his colleague CEO's personal and financial commitment to the problem while highlighting tax breaks Twitter has previously received. Proposition C, which will appear on San Francisco ballots in November, proposes a new tax on the city's largest company that could generate up to $300 million annually to help its homelessness crisis. Benioff has strongly endorsed Prop C, counting up to $2 million to support the measure, which can cost Salesforce up to $10 million in extra taxes per year. However, Dorsey has sided with the detractors of the proposal, including San Francisco mayor London Breed and the state of Sen. Scott Wiener, who claims the proposal lacks proper accountability and oversight. After Dorsey disagreed with Benioff's support of Prop C on Twitter, Benioff pushed back by asking Dorsey, who is also CEO of Square, about his and his company's financial contribution to the fight against homelessness. Dorsey's companies have benefited for several years from the central tax exemption, which is commonly known as the "Twitter Tax Break", encouraging companies to keep offices in a tough neighborhood of San Francisco. Dorsey responded by telling Benioff that he "divorced" from his support of Mayor Breed: Benioff and Dorsey have a story: Salesforce CEO tried to buy Twitter in 2016. In total, more than 7,000 people experience homelessness in San Francisco, where detritus suggests human suffering on the street contrasts sharply with the city's total technology-laden wealth.

– Två av världens ledande teknikchefer är oense om hur man kan lindra hemlösheten i San Francisco – en stad där extrem rikedom glittrar tillsammans med ungefär 7 500 som bor på gatorna, rapporterar Guardian. I fråga är en föreslagen skatt på välbärgade storstadsföretag som Salesforces VD Marc Benioff stödjer och Twitters VD Jack Dorsey motsätter sig. "Jag vill hjälpa till att lösa det hemlösa problemet i SF och Kalifornien", twittrade Dorsey på fredag, men den här skatten är inte "det bästa sättet att göra det." Retorts Benioff: "Vilka hemlösa program i vår stad stödjer du? Kan du berätta vad Twitter och Square & du är inne på och på vilka finansiella nivåer?" Dorsey kallar Benioffs frågor för "distraktion", medan Salesforces VD skäller ut sin kollega exec för att ha kämpat mot "en relativt liten skatt". Kallas Proposition C, skulle valsedeln beskatta storstadsföretag med varierande belopp-ungefär 0,5% på bruttointäkterna av företag som gör över $50 miljoner per år, per CNN. Målet: Höja upp till 300 miljoner dollar årligen för skyddsrum, mentalvård och bostäder, vilket skulle fördubbla den nuvarande stadsfinansieringen. Men San Franciscos nye borgmästare, London Breed, motsätter sig också Prop C, med hänvisning till ansvarsskyldighet och tillsynsfrågor samt eventuella uppsägningar eller företag som flyr från staden. Samtidigt ärTwitter bland företag som drar nytta av den så kallade "Twitter Tax Break" för att ha kontor i grövre stadsdelar, per CNBC. Nu säger Benioff, Dorsey och Breed: "Vi pratar alla nu och är i linje för att fixa det här problemet..." twittrade Dorsey senare på fredag. "Kommer att hålla alla uppdaterade." (Den här hemlösa mannen som laddar en telefon på Dunkin' har en ohyfsad överraskning.)
“Two of the world’s leading technology managers disagree on how to alleviate homelessness in San Francisco – a city where extreme wealth sparkles along with about 7,500 people living on the streets,” reports the Guardian. In question, a proposed tax on wealthy metropolitan companies that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff supports and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey opposes. "I want to help solve the homeless problem in SF and California," tweeted Dorsey on Friday, but this treasure is not "the best way to do it." Retort's Benioff: "What homeless programs in our city do you support? Can you tell me what Twitter and Square & you are into and at what financial levels?" Dorsey calls Benioff's questions "distraction", while Salesforce's CEO scolds his colleague exec for fighting "a relatively small treasure". Called Proposition C, the ballot would tax metropolitan companies with varying amounts—approximately 0.5% on the gross revenues of companies making over $50 million per year, per CNN. Target: Raise up to $300 million annually for shelters, mental health care and housing, which would double current city funding. But San Francisco's new mayor, London Breed, also opposes Prop C, citing accountability and oversight issues as well as any redundancies or companies fleeing the city. At the same time,Twitter is among companies that benefit from the so-called "Twitter Tax Break" to have offices in coarser neighborhoods, per CNBC. Now Benioff, Dorsey and Breed say, "We're all talking now and are in line to fix this problem..." tweeted Dorsey later on Friday. "Will keep everyone up to date."
