I'd like Google to use some of that money to try raising up (taking over) a small town and turning it in to a haven for those who want science, facts, and logic to be the focus. Where decisions affecting the community will be studied by experts, reflected upon, and the best overall course of action taken; instead of allowing lobbying and other traditional politics to dictate a solution that awards only a few.
I think /that/ is how you create opportunities for all, including affordable places for workers to have a high quality life, and companies able to afford offices near their workers.

If you're going to be a tyrant, you won't last long as a "soft" tyrant. The N Korean dynasty knows it, the Castros know it. Once you give in a little, it all starts falling apart (for the better).
