But it doesn’t really matter - they can just bid more in the next round. It’s not eBay - there is no time limit.

It is a bit surprising that they didn’t use neutral 3rd party as arbiter, and that they didn’t go ahead with Dutch auction. They would be done in few hours with very close result. Another surprising thing is that there were no good will cla

Skiing by itself is very expensive (equipment and lift tickets). For Whistler there are cheaper options if you are staying not in the main village, basically price-wise it’s comparable to staying somewhere else and driving (and hotels in Va

I’m sure Whistler overall saw increase in business. And improvements to the road were long overdue. This “highway” was in disrepair with constant traffic jams.

And this is why Google needs to be split up. No other enterprise can burn so many billions of dollars for so many years to corner the market. Google uses profits from search to napalm everything remotely looking like a threat.
