The dollar amount saved on fuel costs would be under $2 million. Their 2012 cash reserves were just shy of $4.8 billion. You're barking up entirely the wrong tree.
- pfortuny 13y agoWell, you can feed a lot of people and give work to a lot of other people with "under $2million." I think that is what we are complaining about.
- bowlofpetunias 13y agoI don't quite get your point here. They have so much money they wouldn't care about a bit more? My experience with wealthy people/companies is exactly the opposite, they didn't get there by leaving a "measly" $2 million on the table.
- DannyBee 13y agoYou should try meeting these particular people sometime, before making mean-spirited assumptions about them?
- lostlogin 13y agoAh, the character witness.
- bowlofpetunias 13y agoHow is suggesting wealthy people would care about $2 million "mean-spirited"? I didn't say all wealthy people would also put ethical considerations aside for $2 million. I certainly hope not.
- craigmccaskill 13y agoThe OP was suggesting this was a bribe or 'kick-back'. The scales for which are entirely ridiculous. Of course Google cares about money, but to suggest that they would make sweeping changes to their infrastructure and privacy policy for something on this small a scale is nothing short of hilarious.
- pjc50 13y agoThe real perk is having _access_ to something that's not on the market for any price - the privilege of a convenient government airfield. Even more exclusive than a regular private jet.
- wutbrodo 13y agoDid you accidentally add a decimal point, or do you ha D different figures? I thought reserves were closer to 50 billion.
