Google Net Profit Last 4 Qs: $63 Billion
Google can literally fund the state of Missouri indefinately. How does Missouri make this a fair fight?

- tryingagainbro 9y agoHow does Missouri make this a fair fight? The power of government. Missouri can definitely pay for quite a few attorneys (maybe do a tobacco litigation type deal) but the danger is that other states will join in. Having taken on Google can be quite a thing on your resume as you seek higher office...who will resist it?
- bitmapbrother 9y agoSurely you mean the taxpayers of Missouri will be paying for a long and protracted legal battle. And once they find out the amount they paid to pad his resume they'll have a thing or two to say on how Missouri funds were used.
- tryingagainbro 9y agoAlways been like that. But personally I think Google should be investigated and stopped, smaller companies will again have a chance. I assume that they are safeguards: the governor might be able to intervene if an AG goes nuts, the courts etc etc.
