Carl jim, just crossing the wires now, doj has filed the suit against alphabets google, and heard you talking to becky a moment ago, reiterating what you said for a long time, this lawsuit essentially is a strange kind of value creator. Yeah, look, i mean, arguably theyre saying there are ties to exclusionary business deals that google has done. Look, google has opened the books time and again to the government it is not their first rodeo. They have understood this. If theyre trying to break up google, all theyre trying to do is exactly what ive been hoping for, which is that to bring out the value in google, you have to break it up. So if the department of justice is going that route, theyre a great investment banker. I joke with david, there is situations where the sum o
