I don't deny wealth disparity is very much a thing, but this doesn't seem the point to make it. How many people does Google employ? Amazon? Apple? Probably as much or more than a small town.

Yeah and how many of those people are on 0 hour contracts with a minimum wage that's barely been adjusted for 30 years.
How many Kodak workers had to pee in bottles, or needed suicide nets around their company dorms?
Hard to say for sure, but I think we can all agree it was a company full of negatives...
Amazon has 1.5m, it's more on the level of a small country. Google is only at 180k, just small city level.
You're counting warehouse and delivery workers though in that number, which IIRC is the significant majority. Google doesn't move physical products. (At least, not anything near that scale.)
Fair point, see my response to the commenter above.
