$Alphabet(GOOG)$ I got to say, Google's ability to innovate is awesome! It’s promoting the launch of a new product called Green Light that uses AI to control traffic lights in order to make transportation much more efficient. I hope it gets to my neighborhood soon. Then I won’t regret buying that stock to support their innovation projects that’s going to make me money and also make my life much much easier. Win-win!
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Google has its data advantage, but other companies could have accumulated by time and catch up soon. It may also be like the case of the search engine, after Google has taken the lead, users use Google, so Google's data advantage becomes bigger and bigger.

Why I am Bullish on Google's Restructuring

While news of layoffs can be unsettling, it's important to analyze the bigger picture. Recent reports of Google restructuring staff across teams like Flutter, Dart, and Python have sparked concerns, but these changes might not be entirely bearish for the tech giant's future.
