Yeah, let&#x27;s focus on the tech companies that pay well and provide benefits, and ignore Walmart, who&#x27;s externalized all its costs by relying on welfare and Medicaid; Shell, BP, Exxon, who&#x27;ve externalized all their costs by resource giveaways and lax pollution standards; all the health giants, who&#x27;ve externalized their costs by co-opting the FDA, colluding to fix Medicare prices, and rigging the patent system; all the giant banks who get the taxpayers to bail them out whenever they ruin the economy; etc, etc, etc.<p>But sure, let&#x27;s focus on Google and Amazon. They&#x27;re the real villains.
