Skydance and Paramount are about to merge.

Is Paramount really doing so poorly that they have to merge with another company?

Mergers are to give big payouts to the executives that do them. The underlying businesses have almost nothing to do with the decision making.

What has that got to do with anything?

Greed is insatiable.

yeah, every merger or acquisition means you get to fire all the people who are now working redundant positions that were needed in two separate companies.

and the executives get a bonus

I read the other day that Paramount lost a bunch of money on...something in the last few years, but I forget the specifics.

Billionaires never think they have enough money. They always want more.

This merger was only allowed to happen because they bribed Trump. Corrupt purely corrupt.
