  Yes, I was thinking… How much tax on Google will force it to get out? I’d say it’s definitely a lot more money.

  Also, what’s interesting is that… If Google got kicked out… Nothing would happen. There’s libre software for everything Google does.

  Maybe to not scare of the big G for now?
  Just increase the percentage every 2 years to boil the frog slowly :)

    We should start turning up the heat in the other pots too, so there are fewer alternative “pots” to jump in to.
