I took a random wild guess, and found that if they quit blowing billions of dollars on over-complicated technology, they could do a lot more to take care of real world problems, like food, clothes and shelter for the homeless.
But... you know even if they didn't use the money for this, they wouldn't use it for those things, right? It's Google...
Just think of how many messaging apps they could launch and then kill with that money.
I'd forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation
