It is a fundamental weakness of our capitalist system is that “shareholders“ are exclusively responsible for how this “transaction” affects their immediate pocketbook without any consideration for the wider consequences of concentrating power in the hands of oligarchs who will abuse such power.
Warner Bros. urged shareholders to reject Paramount’s hostile takeover bid, saying that Netflix’s offer was “superior.”

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.
Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.
