To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow.
Seems a bit suspect.
Google buys Russia
Thought this was Ludacris so I googled the Russian gdp and google networth and yeah google could legitimately by Russia with some change.
No. I will not live in a Shadowrun campaign without the dragons and orcs to keep me company. Just no.
Oh this is even worse! Imagine if we transitioned to Nation Company states!? The United States of Apple…hey. We don’t gotta change anything…USA! USA!
There’s a reason why all the cyberpunk stories are about corporatacracies and/or spacefaring feudalist states running human society in the future. Life imitates art.
Probably on the cards at some point when a company exceeds the gdp of a country.
It’s essentially an asset purchase
Yes, but most if not all countries in the world run on deficits. Not a good investment.
I don’t see the problem, it will be just like the days of company towns, except way bigger, they will control the banks, hospitals, prisons and military, and you cannot leave unless they let you!
You laugh, but we’re getting closer and closer to this every day
It is de facto already the case, thanks to bad campaign finance laws.
Just wait a while and I’ll be nickle. Althout Musk might be interested now.
Imagine Google just goes completely rampage mode and buys a fuck ton of drones and these Robot-Dogs with guns attached and lays fucking waste to Russia. This would be such an Deus ex machina to end this war.
the internet in russia must be so good now
considering the track record they should start putting “courts” in quotes when discussing Russia.
It goes off my screen, it it 2 googol?
Lmao
That’s… More than all of the value of everything on earth, combined.
By a lot.
Value is relative. My cat is worth way more than that.
I would sell my cat for a bag of pretzels.
I would sell your cat together with the cat of the guy above you for a single pretzel.
They were smart and accounted for 6 months or so of Russian inflation as their currency collapses.
N = { value of everything in the Earth’s crust, including art, wildly inflated for tax purposes }
N^2 < [(this fine)/(the U.S. GDP)]
This number is so comically large it only makes sense in astrophysics.
Miss me with that astrophysics ish. Come holla when you on that Ramsey theory and Graham’s Number.
rips bong
We are the projection of a higher order dimension, being sucked into a higher order dimension black hole.
We passed the event horizon which gave all static mass a direction of motion from which they cannot escape.This is the arrow of time.
It wasn’t everything all at one point for the big bang, it was just the tip of a higher order dimension iceberg. This 0-100 moment is what caused the CMB.
All of this information is being compressed. The universe is not expanding. The only thing that expands is the nothingness between all massive objects as they further compress towards nothingness, giving the illusion of infinite accelerating expansion.
All invisible forces, from the 'dark matter’s to electromagnetism, are dimensions projected into this Allegory of the cave of a universe we’re stuck in.
Miss me with that real shit let’s get high and make shit up.
You, uh… You do a newsletter?
On a serious note, you should learn about Graham’s number, it’s legit mind-blowing.
Depends on the currency.
No, it literally does not.
That’s how ridiculous that number is.
Convert to Shiba Inu, Dodgcoin, idc. Still not even fucking close.
The the infamous Weimar Republic mark was only one 4.2 trillionth of a dollar. This is a quadrillion x quadrillion dollars.
Lol it’s not an onion article!
How do you do this as a country and think anyone will respect anything you threaten again?There’s still a window you could “fall” out of…
Exactly. I’m still missing the comical “or else…”.
I might expect this kind of pissantry from North Korea, but Russia?
You’d think Mr. Google would just have a little accident out an 8th floor window.
Twenty decillion rubles, best we can do is $3.50
It’s gonna be bout tree fiddy. Always tree fiddy! Gat dang lock-ness monsta!
You owe the Russian government $20 that’s you’re problem. You owe the Russian government $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 that’s their problem.
that’s you are problem
your
That equates to 1 googol rubles
“The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week. Owing to compound interest…”
Let’s try one of their favorite retorts. No, u!
