Take on the cable company merger

When TOR read that Comcast was going to buy Time Warner we thought..
Maybe a negative times a negative will turn into a positive. Most
people hate their cable company and two of the most hates ones are
Time Warner and Comcast, so it is only natural for the two of them to
combine into a large conglomerate of crap.
I get that this is the way capitalism works but the Cable Companies
have always had an unfair advantage because for years they had no
competition. If you were zoned for Time Warner, you couldn't get
Cablevision and visa versa. So the leads these companies had against
their upstart rivals were so large they they couldn't possibly be
caught from behind. Finally you got companies like Direct TV or FIOS
but it is still. Of true competition because all these municipalities
are wired for one cable company, so the only way to get true cable TV
is to cough up $160 and deal with some of the worst customer service
known to man.
I hate them all and the Comcast-Time Warner thing is the worst of them all
