No... but they could give everyone a $2/hr raise, which isn't trivial, and sustain themselves at that level for FIVE YEARS on the current excess.
Another option is to give everyone a bonus; doing the math on 3.4bn/167k workers, is around 20k each; even if they "only" gave half of that back to the workers, a $10k bonus is pretty nice and one-time. There's no excuse....
