For a society where you don't go bankrupt for being ill and less than a percent of the population is in jail I am willing to trade not having Silicon Valley.

Google are in the wrong here, and essentially saying that SV's ignorance towards anti-competitive and despotic behaviours is a good thing is just stupid.
