    Well, in fairness, they didn’t do anything nice with the money either.

      Becoming a monopoly and tech giant is pretty nice…

        Okay they aren’t good, but seriously what makes them a monopoly? I haven’t seen anyone make a good argument for this. There isn’t a single industry they’re in, that I know or can think of, that they hold enough market capture to be a monopoly.
