I say Sergey Brin should liquidate and donate 90% of his net worth to American citizens so we can go to Chick-fil-A.

I thought the Wendy's dumpsters are where we go to financially recover after we loose our life savings on options. They sell food there?

Wendy's to blow for more "seed" money.

Chik Fil A to blow your gains on tendies.

They don't seem to understand this boardgame of life where they have all this wealth is at a precarious tipping point. Yes they will end up with all the money but that will just make them a big target when those with nothing flip the table.

Greed really is a disease.

Usually when educated countries with good resources start losing the good resources and comfort they get pretty rebellious.

It's very likely this directly contributes to the current state of US unrest.

Hopefully the company people don't like unrest and solve it the way the US has in the past. Try to make the people comfortable again.

Sergey Brin used to be a decent human being money got to his head

Nah, he always sucked. I actually found this thread by searching for Brin since I saw his quote on Bluesky, and the first Reddit result was a NYTimes article from 16 years ago where he is reported saying he was sick of Googlers who felt entitled to things like bottled water and M&Ms.

"Decent" is a bit relative, most people who've worked or talked with him said he was a bit stupid but mostly harmless in a "decent" way. But yeah it's obvious there was a turning point where money turned him really egotistical and detached from reality.

Larry Page though? Always was an asshole and a moron to boot. My coworker lived in the dorms with him and everyone hated Larry

step 2: pay the tax

u/Creative_Pilot_7417 Mar 01 '25

Do you think he can sell all his google stock?

u/toi80QC Mar 01 '25
