It will be very difficult unless they change the laws. These properties are purchased by the attorneys of corporations owned by other corporations with multiple owners which are other foreign corporations and communicated by a non-owner party.

I was also curious as to when startups get acquired or acqui-hired - why they don't just come back out and do it all over again to prove it out? I actually did that, lol.

Also, what if, by chance, google allowed you to reduce your monthly bill by say $10 a month by making your default browser google.com?
