    Pretty much most of the big tech needs it.

    Trying to think of a way to profit off the haords of concern trolls taking about "destabilizing the economy" if this ever became a thing. I don't know much but I know if the first thing happens the second thing is guaranteed.

    Please let me know if anyone has an idea. Maybe like a "save Google" coin or NFT?

    Years ago a Microsoft breakup was also once on the table, but it never happened.

    I wouldn’t get too excited that regulators will follow through with this for Google either.

    Let us also not forget the Ma Bell breakup and what happened thereafter.
