you think you can just force elected representatives to do what you like.
Imagine having elected officials doing what you like. Instead they do whatever corporate donors pay them to.
Best to let capital sort it out - wouldn't want to enforce the will of the people or anything.
The game is kinda meh from what I've seen? Any positive impressions?
The agent is forbidden from reading any response, otherwise he might develop a conscience or worse, self awareness.
Fuck cars but trucks and SUVs are more dangerous than cars to pedestrians, and to argue otherwise just makes you look silly

active disinformation campaign at worst
Relax
It's so fucking annoying when I'm trying to turn and check for oncoming traffic and one of these or its smaller cousins pulls up next to me so I can't see
Where I live people will park their ~~tanks~~ trucks in the driveway and block the sidewalk. At least they won't be able to do that here, but I wouldn't be surprised if people just start parallel parking on the people gutter
I got a holographic original extended Daenerys sex scene!
By acquiring fox they have 60% ownership interest in Hulu. It's that simple.

I'm sure the timing is coincidence and has nothing to do with Disney controlling the largest market share of streaming services.
Nearly every acquisition is about extinguishing competition and squeezing more juice from your core products. It's why oil and gas buys green tech to toss it in the bin, it's why Google buys waze and essentially halts development on it, it's why Microsoft bought blizzard. They extract any value from what they bought but that is secondary to eliminating a company that they'd have to compete with on price.

Every coy news article that pretends there's some sort of 3d chess going on or some big unknowable synergies is a joke. They'll give the acquired divisions to some much more competent middle managers to see if there's any value to extract, but it's secondary to the main objective. Disney would much rather collaborate with n-1 competitors (Netflix is really it?)
The value of an acquisition is almost never about synergy, assets, tech, or the catalog you got out of it.
It's usually about extinguishing competition and squeezing any remaining juice from your core offerings and products at a higher price.
Reading this made me wonder if anyone working the holocaust trains had any moments of reflection as they carted people to slaughter. Maybe some of them could feign ignorance, unlike the "Texas Division of Emergency Management" Officials
Utterly disgusting that people are going along with this farce.
Just buy the corn syrup and iodized salt direct from the manufacturer and skip all these middle men.
