Or maybe they are too busy protesting[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][..] instead of focusing on product ;-) Interestingly, before 2017, very few (no?) public news of them employees walking out or protesting publicly @ Google. It's almost like Sergey going to the airport to protest opened the floodgates[6]. The Times They Are a-Changin' (or no good deed goes unpunished...).

I am sorry for your downvotes. This was another hit-and-run by globalist manipulators and their far-left islamofascist pawns.

Google's been killing their products left, right, and centre long before this whole thing. Absolutely no link.

@aokiji If they are such all power-full manipulators, then its good, that the most superior being- you, looked through all that. </iron> </y>

If you kill this comment too, then you had better supply a reason. Sick of HN censorship.

I hate when people just downvote posts that don't align with their politics.

  This wasn't downvoted because of a lack of political alignment; it was downvoted because there's absolutely no link. The post implies a causal link, but there isn't even a correlational one; Google has been shuttering its own projects only a couple of years after launch for years, long before the current round of employee protests.
