Damn it, that’s insane. I knew they were huge, but I had no idea the scope of their holdings! Someone print out a huge poster of that graphic and show congress or whoever needs to decide that they’re faaaaar too large and are negatively impacting many industries.

There’s no way this shit is tax optimal, so many companies with super-specific purposes… unless it’s all to trigger specific tax regimes. Maybe they should simplify the corporate structure instead of axing creative staff they clearly need

Reminds me of the Walt Disney ERB lines:

“I’m the Disney landlord of your intellectual property”
