EVERY regulatory agency on earth has validated the Paramount merger. Bonta is just inventing fake carve-outs to shoehorn his jihad into a routine acquisition you can only consider "illegal" by ignoring all of his big tech donors' activities, and the last 30 years of Hollywood reality. He had ZERO problem when his donor, Netflix, was going to be the buyer for WB. Bonta is weaponizing his office for politics and payback.
All of the theater chains support the merger, industry unions support the merger. Bonehead Bob stands alone with the communists at WGA and unhinged Mark Ruffalo. This is such a scam.
I’m pro business
And pro law
And pro businesses that follow the law
Enforcing the law is not anti-business
All businesses must follow the law, obviously. That’s basic and fundamental
And businesses can be and have been wildly successful in California—while following the law
If your business model requires you to break the law in order to be successful, it’s not a very good business model
