This is what happens when we allow gigantic acquisitions.

I’m generally against acquisitions for this reason. So many companies just want to be acquired instead of running a company.

I can’t think of one large acquisition that benefited consumers

Because consumers are not thought of when acquisitions happen. Shareholders and maybe regulations are thought of.
