The protesters continue to block the buses that Google and Apple are the shuttling employees. First hypothesis of “Silicon Valley” as a state in its own right.

The first signs of protest we’ve given them a few days ago, but at this time are continuing. The bickering between the technology industry and the community around it continue to grow, and buses that make up the commute between home / workplace to employees of companies like Apple and Google in Silicon Valley continues to be hailed as a sign of protest by demonstrators who believe they pay too much rent their homes because of the high salaries that only employees of the Big technology have.

The protesters believe, among other things, that rising rents to live in a house in San Francisco and surrounding areas are due to the workers in the factories of Apple and Google Local, which are “well paid”. And it is primarily for this reason that the protesters have organized events aimed at stopping buses carrying workers in an attempt to be heard by the ruling class.

Neither Google nor Apple immediately responded to requests for comment on what is happening.

On Friday, one of the protests resulted in vandalism, with the protesters who broke the window of a bus Google in Oakland, according to a report The New York Times . There are now more than three events in all, including two buses with Google employees and a bus stop in Oakland with Apple employees stopped in San Francisco, according to the Times. “We want the ruling class begin to listen to our voice and listen to the voices of the people who are displaced,” said one protester, as published by Reuters .

Last week, TechCrunch reported that the investor Tim Draper has proposed that California should be divided into six separate states – including one specifically called “Silicon Valley”, a term coined in 1971 by journalist Don C. Hoefler to indicate the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, is substantially coincident with the Santa Clara Valley in Santa Clara County, California, home to many technology companies. The first electronics company in Silicon Valley was settled civil Hewlett-Packard in 1939.
