    Let’s pause a moment and just appreciate how much money Alphabet actually make net (after expenses). $73,795,000,000 last year - higher than the GDP of entire nations, in profit.

    The “bad” year, 2022 that drove all this change, they only made $59,972,000,000 net. Oh how terrible (!)

    5 years ago, they made $34,343,000,000 net, so they’ve more than doubled profits.

    Take a moment to appreciate that, and really consider if they “need” the money.
