      Remember, it took Trump to make the federal regulators look the other way and then Newsom to make the state regulators look away.

    I’ll continue not giving them money. It literally costs me nothing.

      The cost is in a less diverse media landscape. These companies don’t just make movies - they operate television, news, online, etc. This well have wide ranging effects over the next year and beyond.

        And every money not given to them loosens their stranglehold. It might cause a temporary content drought, but we’ve had those before and lived.

          Sure, but not really the point. This affects everyone even if they’re not wasting money on it directly.

      A more likely bet would be guessing which other massive corporation this conglomerate will merge with next.

      Why would anyone pay for politicians to do that to a wealthy company? What’s in it for them?

      We haven’t seen a split like that since the 80s, so I’d say very unlikely

      Seems like it might depend on how quickly the US loses a world war.
