Every year the US based companies shrink, many though acquisition. Although there are always smaller company's popping up, many will get eaten alive by the big boys on the block. Others will be purchased and broken down to be sold piece by piece.
the list of bankruptcies in the past few yeas is frightening and I wonder if we'll ever see the rebirth on mom and pop stores.
Least we forget the workers that will most likely be cut because of job duplication. Maybe the only silver lining to this predicament will be clever merger names
I'm sure some have already gone down this path and it's no fun
Could you imagine these consolidations in the near future:
1. Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller
Brush, and W. R. Grace Company will merge and become:
Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace
2. Polygram Records, Warner Brothers, and Zesta
Crackers join forces and become: Poly, Warner, Cracker
3. 3M will merge with Goodyear and issue forth as:
MMMGood
4. Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and
Dakota Mining will merge and become: ZipAudiDoDa
5. FedEx is expected to join its major competitor,
UPS, and become: FedUP
6. Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers
will become: Fairwell Honeychild
7. Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to
become: Poupon Pants
8. Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization
of Women will become: KnottNOW!
