Google Considered Too Big To Fail

theodp writes "Doc Searls is worried about the way Google makes money. 'Nearly all of it comes from advertising,' he frets. 'That's what pays for all the infrastructure Google is giving to the rest of us. As our dependency on Google verges on the absolute, this should be a concern.' Have we reched Peak Advertising? Blogger Dave Winer says amen, asking if Google is already 'too big to fail.'"

I'm convinced that he's a very effective troll. Not only is he completely off on the timeframe of the Great Depression, but the government did take steps. Not to prevent businesses from failing, but to prevent them from engaging in the same self-destructing acts in the future and to provide stability to American families.

So the current administration could quickly recover the economy by ending the wars and bringing soldiers home? Sounds awesome.
