I know from years of working with you that you have engaged in watching smaller companies, Rule Breakers become targeted by larger companies for acquisition. I'm wondering if you also engage in a similar type of thinking with a company like Amazon or Alphabet where you think boy, I really hope they just stay the Rule Maker that they are now. Or is that a mental exercise that you don't engage in when it comes to Rule Makers? Well, I think that I think you really have to, these really big companies are very complex and they have different functions in our society.
Before you make the rules, you might have to break the rules.
