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

    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
