Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

Tesla's stock price has been firmly disconnected from reality for a while now so probably

There in lies the problem. One group is monopolizing the park. It is not being shared. It is being permanently used.

Green space downtown is over rated anyway we should probably just flatten it for a parking lot as we could fit more people in it that way and it would be cheaper to maintain.

Vitamin water does have about half as much sugar as soda so that's a bit of an improvement.

Given the brands you mention I bet they have a contract with Coca-Cola or those machines produce a nontrivial amount of profit such that the machines removal is disincentivized.

No it isn't? It has 32g of sugar per bottle unless you buy the zero sugar version

Look, I get it, you're more interested in demonizing me for wanting to use the park than actually solving the problem.

You can see the bins walking by https://maps.app.goo.gl/d86jJzGCeEDuBSTq5?g_st=ac and I do pick some up if I see it in the path when I pass through

Plenty of trash cans in that park going unused, unless you consider one being 10 meters from you too tricky to find.

If you look at it from an incentive view point you have to pay people more to Capitan a sinking ship.

Also worth noting is that market share may or may not be relevant. Android has a higher market share world wide compared to Apple, however Apple users generate more revenue.

All this to say that the op graph is at best an incomplete picture of things designed to rile up people who lack critical thinking.
