ridiculous. not even contesting that they are a monopoly, or that they engage in illegal conduct!

So Mr Google. It is clear you shot this man. No doubt you broke the rules and are in fact a murderer. But because you only used one bullet, we will not enforce any kind of punishment and wish you good luck with your further endeavours. Case closed.

Well you see after being shot, the man decided to stop breathing, which as we all know is required to continue living, therefore his death is not sufficiently attributable to your single bullet.

District Judge Amit Mehta on Tuesday rejected the Justice Department’s request to force Google to spin off its Chrome browser and Android products.

His donor record shows negligible contributions to Barrack Obama who appointed him to the position.

His term ends in 2028.

Honestly, pretty motivating if you think about it.

I mean, whenever you’re sitting there at work, thinking that your job is stupid and pointless, just remember that there are people out there trying to use the American court system to get fair and sensible rulings. Your job will never be remotely as pointless as theirs.

We keep trying to appeal to systems and mechanisms that have been compromised for years by corrupt politicians, judges, and other figures taking payoffs from tech companies.

It will work this time, bro! We will get an actually just judgment! I know it! Just try once more!
