There are way too many conglomerates these days. No one wants to be an owner, anymore, it seems. They want to start something and build it up, just enough that some conglomerate rolls into the bosses office and makes them an offer. They take that offer, make their way to the nearest beach and that’s it. Thereby stifling out any competition and placing the power into a few hands. Of course, the hedge fund guys/gals, large conglomerates and all their cronies are the liberal-powers behind the throne.
They can spew and force their liberal ideology on the rest of us but will never have to live with the consequences of it. Yet another example of the blaring hypocrisy that is the Left.
At least they are getting bought. In the Microsoft days they just stole all the new technology embedded it into Windows, (which was stolen too) and say to the little coder, sue us!
