I used to work as a consultant for Comcast at their HQ in Philly. One winter day my boss from the consulting company called me and said we were going to go meet with Time Warner Cable about writing some software for them. He showed up and when I put on my coat he said “what are you doing?” We then rode the elevator up to the floor where TWC had a fucking suite of offices … in the Comcast Center. This was a couple of years before the merger attempt, and leaves me still wondering why that merger failed when the companies were effectively already merged.

It’s funny how giant corporations realized before the median voter that cooperation is better than competition.

why innovate when you can just maintain a monopoly /s
