In 2005, Google paid $50 Million for a dying phone company giving away FREE software.
Critics called it the "dumbest acquisition ever."
Today, that "dumb decision" is worth over $500 BILLION.
Here's how Google saw the future before anyone else: 🧵

Boebert: "Are we having a debate or an interview? I'm just checking."
Colorado Public Radio host @cprwarner: "Well, first of all, I get to say things as a journalist to set the record straight. So, inflation is easing."

Warner: "That's exactly right. And inflation is easing."
Boebert: "OK. This is adorable."

We’ve never said this before but here’s a near perfect midcentury modern home in Belleville, IL that was designed by THE Frank Lloyd Wright where he originally began construction but was then completed by notable architect Charles E. King. The home comes with views galore (like that of the St. Louis Arch) and the architecture is designed to blend into its surroundings and incorporate nature. Also a floating living room and gazebo.
Bonus info per the listing agent: The home has been owned and lived in by the same family since 1968. It's a bit of a "hidden gem" in this way. It's the first time it's been on the market in over 50 years, so many people who have lived in the St. Louis area for their whole life have never heard or seen the home or it's views. Bob Goalby, who was a professional golfer lived here for quite some time until he passed away. He converted some of the 55 acres into his own private fairways and greens. He won the Masters tournament in 1968.
Currently listed for only $2,500,000
