My favorite comment on the article is “The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money."

    This is some true believer shit.

    Google launched less than thirty years ago.

    At the current rate of deterioration, it’s not exactly certain to what extent the planet will be able to sustain human life, much less whether a much loathed spyware company will still be around to pay the bills.

      Well, it’s not uncommon in some countries with perpetual loans for individuals, so sure!

      It’s usually a matter of agreeing the right interest and offering the right security. You will get a worse deal than Google.

      I would pay like $1 for $100 100 year bond from a random account on the fediverse just for the novelty, tbh.

      Edit: actually I should probably be asking more like $800 on a one dollar investment now that I think about it. Compounding interest go brrr.
