This makes me fucking sick. Google is a beautocratic monolith and doesn't deserve to be subsidized by the people. They should pay the government in full so we can finally get back to making progress.
I don't want to suggest Google would spend all that money on hammers(as this was largely a myth) but they certainly won't be spending it protecting the american people. Google should do the right thing here and pay up.
Almost 3400[0] people die from terrorism, if you include people in the middle east directly interacting with terrorists as well as domestic terrorism and also actual instances of terrorism. Does google really think 463billion is enough to protect America?
Leave the decision making to the people who are qualified cyber security is a big deal and I need a group with a success record to protect me.

Edit: Made it clear this was in jest. While I regularly state we incur risk using google for everything pretty obvious it is a net good and even from a non-financial return on value, i would invest my taxes in google.

- swampthinker 11y agoThe article was about taxes. How did you go from taxes, to terrorism, to cyber security? Never mind the fact that this is representative of EU disfunction, not Google "being evil".
- vonklaus 11y agoWhile I don't love google, I thought I made the claim rediculous enough that everyone would be able to realize it os satire and google could probably do 10x of what any govt could with the money.
- swampthinker 11y agoThe /s went flying over my head.
