>Don't be evil

Now:
>Do the right thing

>>59611786
yes but what is the point of that

Page is taking money away from Google to fund his other businesses. Google's shareholders don't like that.

The accounting purposes make sense in this case.

It's silly to report that Google makes $0 net profit when it's just investing heavily. Now they will report that Google make $X billion and Waymo/whatever lose $X billion and it becomes clearer how the money moves.
