At least the second one is very easy to act upon.
Sure, anti-capitalist-impulse Me 100% agrees.
It's just doubly icky in the context of Google's original "letter to shareholders": https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/29/business/letter-from-the-... ("Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one")
Haha that’s a great find. Google may be one of the most conventional companies out there now.
To some extent that's because conventional tech companies became Google.
"One of the most conventional companies" sounds like some kind of paradox.
They are still not a conventional company, in the manner of intentionally shutting down support avenues to paying customers even.
Kinda like kids who claimed to become Rocket scientists when grow up. But now flipping burgers at McDonald's. Big liars living among us.
I resemble that remark!
Ok, well, maybe not burgers
