How do they stay in business? They pay out 1.4 billion as if it isn't real money--which I always say--probably isn't.

A little over 1% of a year's profit. It works out to about $46 per Texas resident and of course I'm including those culture-enriching migrants. Here's your $46, Karmelo, go buy a Mother's Day gift. Maybe a quality kitchen knife to replace the one the cops took for evidence.

How do you measure clicks as money? How can we--or ANYONE--know what a click is worth and how many actual clicks of whatever makes them money are authenticated? I don't believe any of it. They will SAY whatever statistic that keeps their stock price up. 140 billion of profit is a ridiculous amount.
