Opinion

This is somewhat an example of trickle down economics where corporations that normally hoard immense amount of money, actually give it out down the pyramid in a very obvious way. Every company should be doing this to better enable those lower in the current economic pyramid, so people hav more of an opportunity to achieve and better life. Ideally, the aim should be to turn an economic pyramid into a rectangle or turn it upside down.
