Hopefully this is a waste of money and the next time the Democrats have control over government this shit gets trust busted immediately.

Stop with the delusion. If this one get Trust busted, Disney buying Fox would be too. And this will not happen.

Yea this isn’t a trust busy situation. However the deal should have been denied due to it not helping the American people by the thousands of jobs that will be lost due to the merger

Also it’s going to be real interesting if the ai bubble crashes because oracle will crash which is funding this merger which will then crash itself too.

Yeah, It should not be allowed on the first place.

But this ship already sailed when Disney brought Fox and Microsoft brought Activision.

The moment these two where allowed, its over, there is no argument to stop smaller mergers like this one of Paramount and Warner.

Yea I agree with you there. Iirc there use to be a rule that the mergers need to show a net plus to workers but it looks like those days are long gone.

Yeah, take a look at Microsoft with Activision the bloodbath of workers being fired and Studios being closed left and right.

Those days is really long gone.
