      This seems naive. We live in a society, and clearly lots of people depend on those companies for all sorts of things.

      If Google disappeared, millions of businesses would lose access to their Google Docs. Many would go out of business.

      If TSMC disappeared, then we might go back to 2015 in semiconductor technology for new laptops and phones... Oh well? Were computers so awful in 2015?

      is this person fucking real?
