I think its most fair to look at their profit after expenses, 11/75 B. That's still only 15% though.

Just look at country names on the left and on the right

I may be looking at this wrong, but where is the income from tech sales?

My daughter is a little over 2 months old. There's nights we're I don't really sleep. Best case she sleeps for like 3 hours but thats maybe half the time.

Wow 11B in tax on income of 283B. That’s less than a 4% tax rate.

And here I am paying 15-20% like a schmuck. Fuck everything about this.

Honestly, 6pm to 7am with only a couple interruptions is fantastic for babies.

Totally get not being able to sleep well through it though. My son was an okay sleeper but I literally do not remember like the first 3 months of his life, I could not sleep soundly.

Why does Google pay a lower tax rate than I do when they make more than a million times what I make?

Google sure spend a lot of money on S&M. Now that's kinky!

They make more money by serving you personalized ads.

Collecting data about you increases their revenue lines for Search, YouTube and AdSense (ads on websites other than Google and YouTube).

What did he do on the weekend, hangout with some friends or go on a trip? I didn't see you mentioned it here.

So where is all the "they sell our data" revenue?

Is that the "AdMob, AdSense and others"?

Nop, If you check the Economic Freedom Index some items need more government control, like property rights or judicial effectiveness.

I wanna believe if not that, then they've at least found something that works and are making good progress

Interesting to see the impact from WFH.

These Gen Zs who keep talking about mental health have no idea what mental health is.

Feeling alone, depressed, like a loser etc are legitimately good feelings to have as long as you have a reason to feel that way.

Gen Zs think a person with good mental health will never feel sorrow. It's not like that.

Also, how can your resolution be "I'll work on my mental health?"

You just read more books, look at other people's sorrows, read inspirational stories, spend time with your family, put relationship above "good sex", work on your relationships rather than just quitting someone saying he or she is "toxic"... Get a promotion at work, run a mile and then more, eat healthy, develop hobbies, have goals and stay busy and you'd be fine.

But Gen Zs wouldn't do any of that... They would just work on their mental health. And then they'll come online and talk about trans rights in a discussion forum about debt ceiling... Why? Because that's all they know to talk about.

If I had to think about something that no one cares to learn about is this.

Nice map, but the numbers are a bit too big

To me this baby looks like a really good sleeper. My second child didn’t sleep more than 4 hours in a row for 15 months.
