not an economic expert by any means, but I find it interesting that many successful companies are choosing to go under the wing of corporations you could describe as too big too fail

-
yep and also better chance that company will survive a recession by having a bigger corp to care for it

That makes sense. I hope there's stability for us peons though. :-/

I think a lot will depend on how quickly and how badly inflation ramps up over the next 4-5 years.
