Should all monopolies be split into different companies which would be given to the workers who would collectivize them?

    However I love movies

    if you love movies, you should hate every merger… ALL mergers are about buying market share and eliminating competition, with no competition you will get whatever slop they think will be commercially successful and call it a day (just look at all the great IP domain Disney has ruined via acquisitions)

      Overall I anticipate it being a net negative. Mergers like this result in fewer jobs, lower quality products and less competition

      I mean… I led with that. I don’t like the merger, but I like it more than Netflix acquiring them. There are takes beyond black and white

        hmmmm I don’t see there is much room here beyond black and white…

        As is, the industry would compare to 2 fairly ill individuals that still manage… after the merger it would be like having one terminal patient, one with terminal brain cancer or the other with advance Alzheimer; a difference with no distinction at that point
