I know very little about the operating structure of Google, but I wonder how this would work functionally. Doesn't most of their revenue come from ads? So like you couldn't have google search's ad business help to prop up the lines of business that don't make money (Youtube, chrome development)

I can’t stand the “never criticize a dem or you’re helping the republicans” crowd, it’s how we ended up where we are now. Dems got complacent and ratcheted to the right to appease a “broader base” (how did that work out?)… give the people strong social policies and you will win in landslides
Stop spending money on lawsuits
I feel like some of that was just manufactured in the press to sow discord.
He said something, as he was making a birthday wish on stage, to the effect of “I hope the next shooter doesn’t miss”. For context it was like 2 days after the first Trump attempted shooting
