This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Pretty sure they created alphabet and all the other subsidiaries to escape paying taxes.
See alphabet owns things like the G logo, where they then sell a licence to google at crazy high prices to make Googles profit margins seem smaller than they actually are and because Alphabet use Tax havens (Ireland, Isle of mann, Panama, etc) alphabet pays no taxes on that revenue.
Yea I wasn't saying it was a good thing for us or the world even. Its funny because of all the things you just mentioned.
