Just an Observation,

Just understand Google is working its way out of the area, THey originally employed about 4,000 workers in Mountain View, they just cut 1,400 of them a 35% worker population decrease.

That means that the company will likely start liquidating the offices here and cancel all prospective projects. Simply put, they do not need Mountain View or San Jose.

In any event this prosecution was BIPRATISAN. Both the GOP and the DNC do not like Google here is a great article Web Link

Google was a FAD investment, trying to monetize information. But the problem is with the flood of MISINFORMATION it has made the INFORMATION INVESTMENTS like buying into a toxic dump.

Please understand there was NO REAL VALUE here, just another DOT.COM BOMB
