Talking about our government, the merger between Sirius and XM Radio has been in locks for a long time now as the government is still not approving the merger.
This case has been going on for weeks now, while the merger between Exxon and Mobil took half as long. Wow, what a surprise that is. Who knows how long this radio merger will take to get sorted out.
Just goes to show the difference of power between lawyers and lobbyists from oil and radio entities.
I said "sayonara" to radio years ago. Now for radio all I listen to are typically Internet radio stations from Europe...on my Sonos audio system at home, on my computer, etc.
The wankers from Arbitron radio rankings called me up to do a Nielsen-like survey for them. They're going to learn that the best way to program advertising to me is to broadcast their commercials in French from France or something.
Yeah, that's one of the most disgusting statistics I've ever seen.
But people will come here and comment on this matter in spite of the fact that they don't have a fucking clue what the current account balance happens to be.
