This is not just about the choices available to Facebook in this situation. The better question is how we can change the economy to distribute not just money but opportunity more evenly. That is what is at issue here. The differential value software engineers create over janitors is not because of their intrinsic worth but because of their position in the economy. There is no reason to think engineers should be more entitled to the surplus value they produce than the support workers who are equally essential to the process. Saying "this is just how supply and demand works" is a refusal to think.
