    Anand Giridharadas Retweeted Eric Schmidt

    Two ideas, Eric. 1. Break up Google monopoly and its chokehold on online ads, to revive the media business and get reporters and freelancers paid again. 2. Pay Google’s fair share of taxes, so low-wage workers, not needing to make up what you duck, could keep more of their pay.https://twitter.com/ericschmidt/status/1044252703784914945 …

    Let's find ideas that can increase the wages of 100,000 low and moderate income workers by at least $10,000.

        As far as Google goes - how much money do you actually need to run your business with a modest return to investors - do no evil? Sorry you've lost it!

        or, since this appears to be a multi company goal, companies in the S&P 500 could reduce annual buybacks by 10% and inject that $50 billion into the economy through new projects instead of enriching the already wealthy. That might raise wages some...

        I’m really looking forward to reading your book - it’s next on my list of must-reads. Assuming one company does actually break up its monopoly, would another not take its place? Where should government intervention that targets the system allowing monopolies to form come in?
