Apple should house these poor people at HQ. With employees working from home they should have a lot of office space that could be converted into rooms for the homeless. I'm sure there are fitness facilities they could use for basic hygiene and plenty of cafeterias that could feed them.

Poe’s law strikes again.

Btw Amazon actually did this, they have space for 200 a night right in one of their hq buildings in downtown Seattle called Mary’s place.

Respectfully—I knew they were joking, but it wasn’t funny and it doesn’t add anything to the discussion.

They could ease the housing pressure there by going permanent WFH, but I doubt they'll even do that.

Imagine being this clueless about how cafeterias work when the employees aren’t in the office.

Imagine being so dumb to think some aren't open since there are a handful of employees there or opening a few since there would be homeless there.

When there’s a “handful of employees there” cafeterias aren’t open and you’re lucky to have the staff keeping the coffee pots going. Have you not been to “the office” even once over the last 18 months?
