        It’s just so insane to me that c-suites are able to fail upwards after catastrophic failures like that.

        Incidentally, the guy who’s in charge of Google’s search division these days is the guy who was in charge of Yahoo’s search division during the period of time when the went from neck and neck for top dog to “I guess only Japan uses us now” 🤭

        Naaahhhh, this isn’t JUST a greedy fuck who wandered in to muck and needs a haul out. This is a greedy fuck who got in the way of other greedy fucks stealing their bag.

        The other greedy fucks are at least going to make sure to draw a little blood.
