How do you get to be an elected public figure with such awful public speaking skills?
Cupertino is a small town of less than 60k hominoids. The mayor and city council positions almost go for begging (please, somebody run for election).
The "mayor" may be a rotating position among the members of the city council - since someone has to bang the gavel at each meeting. It's a figurehead post, chosen by the city council - not by the voters.
A "big issue" in one of these small towns can be a
church wanting to lease space in its steeple for cellular radio antennae. The NIMBY neighbors are afraid it will irradiate their children, an army of experts declares not only that it won't - but the legal mavens point out that the city council is prohibited by FCC regulations from considering health concerns in their decision.
So please, look at this in context.
(BTW, I'm describing the situation in Mountain View, a town that more or less borders Cupertino - depending on whether you consider unincorporated parts of LA. Please, if any Cupertino resident can correct me please do so. And, no Steve, you live in Palo Alto (at least since you destroyed the house in Woodside).)
It is actually going to sit on top of a super collider (hence the shape).
Apple will create iquarks for new uses and research ifusion.
Far, far, far too small for a super collider. Maybe a MiniMac collider - a collider built using laptop parts.
LHC wouldn't fit in Silicon Valley - even ignoring the minor issue that it might have to cross the San Andreas Fault. LHC is 27 km in circumference, and is in two countries.
