Where I live Google is putting in a research and development center as well as a distribution center. They spent 2-3 years surveying the surrounding counties and decided to put it in mine. Google bought out a ton of small businesses as well as small software devleoper that creates microchips for the assembly lines here. (My city is the 2nd largest producer of fiberobtic cable on the eastern seaboard) Our last commerce meeting estimated a total of 400-500 ppl will lose their jobs and only 5-10% of that will be reemployed to Google. SO the county will become much more wealthy in the next decade but, at least for now, will have a huge unemployment spike.
This is how business works people. MS as well as thousands of businesses do this every year. This is business and it's the way its always been. Since our previous political administrations decided to get rid of our anti-trust laws it's going to happen more and more. The fact is most companies are far from boyscouts.
