As you infer wouldn't a healthy company like Google be more responsible be staying with the same number of employees or even adding employees? Therefore, assisting the economy to get back on its feet by adding to the employment pool? My perspective on all this is that the current capital system has done an excellent job of figuring out ways of pulling wealth from the past and the future. And even celebrating those who figure out new and better ways of doing this. Some day, and probably not the current generation are going to have to figure out ways of pulling wealth back to pay the environmental bills we will have in the future. Well said Ash.
