     @joeo10 It was assumed that it would happen anyway-they're synergistic.
     But the private equity firm shit is going to kill it good. Like they do everything they buy.

     Private equity firms should be banned from buying anything.

     @joeo10 I agree with that as well, but under our capitalist system that would be impossible.
     Greed is good, as Mr. Gekko would say.
