After this in my Reddit feed I got an ad for the nfl.
A merger was just rejected that would have merged Disney, FOX, and Warner that would have let them create a streaming sports service, I think.
If it had been approved, it would have meant bad things for laws concerning what is a monopoly and what isn’t.
It could still be approved (or something like it) in the future by a different president/the Supreme Court/the definition of being a moderate changing/etc.
For example, the big labels in music. Aren’t the 2 main ones Sony and Universal? And Disney stars get signed to the Sony label when the actors decide to release a music album? The rules for a monopoly state that there have to be at least 2 major companies in an industry, right? Maybe a different Supreme Court decision would have been beneficial for the music industry but hurt the consumer when it comes to streaming content and good shows getting canceled after only one season. Or maybe it would have set a precedent that would have divided every industry into 2 main companies, one side Republican and one side Democrat, or maybe it would have led to civil war here. I don’t know. I hope the people in charge are running simulations and stepping in, even secretly, if people have made up their mind to be corrupt and overthrow the government or something.
