Comcast to acquire Time Warner Cable in $45.2 billion deal

[Scipio]

Cocmast: fucking America, one takeover at a time.

[jimmy olsen]

Ugh... this definitely shouldn't be allowed to go through.

Think positively. There will be one less horrible company in the world.

[CountDeMoney]

There will be one less horrible company in the world.

Just with one much larger instead.

Talking about Monopoly.
Last night I landed on Time Square my wife owned with 2 houses on it. $14mill!  , two turns later I was bankrupt and out of the game.

[Eddie Teach]

Original Atlantic City properties or GTFO.

It's some hideous Voltron of bad companies.

You must have been playing one of those theme Monopoly games, because there's no Time Square in Monopoly, and the most that any property charges is $2000 for Boardwalk with a hotel.

Newer lazy version with credit cards. Have no idea of what theme if any.

[Admiral Yi]

Credit cards in monopoly is a brilliant idea.  3/4 of the time you spend is counting change.

You must be playing the 1% version.

Yep.  Times Square is NYC- vanilla monopoly is Atlantic City.

Good, I don't have to share my beer with you then.

I don't drink beer and I want to cheat at the game.

I'm guessing prices will go up, speeds will go down and customer service will sag. 

I'm not sure it's possible to have customer service worse than what Time-Warner already offers.

Actually, the ladies in our local TWI office are nice and helpful.  Unfortunately, we can't just call them anymore.  We used to be able to, but now if we call, we are answered in a call center in another state.
