Sustainable Growth by Google?

Yes I am late on this but I still want to give recognition and talk about it.

Kudos to Google for this one!
(I might be bias on this one a lil since the CEO and found of google is a VPI&SU grad...go HOKIES, lol)

In Lenoir, N.C. where thousands of workers laid off because of a Furniture store closing, Google takes the opportunity to step in and building a center which would create hundreds of jobs for the laid off workers. Not only that; they would also train the laid off worker in the technology necessary for practically any to do the job.

But my extra two sense on this is, is this consider sustainable growth or is it just a big corporation attempting or continuing to build an empire? True sustainable growth, in context, occurs when a community is able to sustain itself after given the proper resources and tools to do so.  So was Google really giving the community a boost or just making itself look good in the public view...or both?

Who know...I do think it is example of the benefit of capitalism, though a lot do not like how the Walmart giant bulldozes into communities whether they like it or not...

just my thought, juskev
