I’m a bit curious as to what the Koch brothers want with time. As a long time customer of Koch industries, they will change the Time business model. They will also improve it.
But it is different then their typical businesses.
The Koch’s are just loaning $650 million as part of a $2.85 billion business buy. They aren’t taking a seat on the board. Without a seat on the board they have no say in the running of the company. They just get payments on their loan.
Not everything the Koch’s do is political. Most of their assets are not involved in political enterprises.
Anybody who thinks the Kochs are Conservatives needs to check into a mental institution. I heard one of them say that they don’t much care for either Party, they are simply engaged because it helps their business interests. They are not a whole lot different than George Soros except that they aren’t Jewish.
