(Most such business go into bankruptcy within 18 months of being acquired).There's a lot of profit to be made through destruction, apparently. And the laws which once prevented this sort of thing have been circumvented or simply reversed. End of Empire. That's where we are. And as one astute pundit recently observed, the ultimate goal of capitalism is to gradually knock out the protections for the working class, pick up the crumbs from the dusty remains and run off with them, and push the citizenry into literal slavery.</blockquote>
