Personally, I think it's a side effect of globalization. All else equal, large companies beat small companies by economy of scale. It follows that larger companies beat large companies. The inevitable outcome is an aggregation of to

That's fairly normal. It depends on the judge to a degree, as each has their own writing style, but most tend to write fairly clearly like this. I dated a court clerk and asked about the writing style, and was told that they write th

Not an Australian, but I don't find it entirely silly. Google delisting Australian news would be the inevitable outcome. It's worth almost nothing to them. They're evening out the playing field. Google can shrug off Austra
