Mamdani Urges Warner Bros. Shareholders to Vote 'No' on Paramount Merger: 'Thousands of Jobs at Risk'

Cool cool, I’m not sure the shareholders care about jobs

I hope the WB curse is real and that Paramount chokes on it.

With the debt the company got in, the mass job loss was inevitable. 

Shareholders don’t care about jobs they care about money

The problem with Capitalism is its primary premise that “Greed is Good!” So the shareholders will vote for the merger, but will vote against executive payouts. So it fuels innovation, but doesn’t fuel social welfare unless creatively framed.

I’m a shareholder and voted no. Honestly I will make money if the deal goes through but not that much. It was a pretty shitty offer. I assume it’ll go through but f*** em, I voted no. Not that my measly shares will move the needle at all

Ya, the thing shareholders care about—-other people’s jobs

You need to tell them why the merger is bad for business, not about people they don't care about losing their job.

There are those that still have morals, and they need to keep speaking out so the public knows there's a better way. The younger generations are going to be part of the solution here because they see what the situations is and aren't buying into it. They will be the ones who hopefully start voting to get the changes they want, and in the process start cleaning up thus mess. Once people see what could be, the different groups will join together and change will occur.

shareholders don't have consciences silly

And they all said “f*** you commie! I’m getting mine!”

Unfortunately, the shareholders chose to be greedy sociopaths.

Doubtful it’s hard for the “ownership class” to resist selling out for a quick buck. My uncle is in finance, something in private equity, I was internally aghast when he recommended that my father sell his clinic to a “roll-up.” Dad’s in a bit of a tough spot since none of us kids followed him into healthcare and he had the unfortunate choice of setting up in a red state (got what he voted for imo). I do think he’s realized he made a bit of a mistake and that’s why he’s still “working,” but that doesn’t really change his predicament. Fortunately my brother and his wife are local to them atm, and I’ve been urging parents to treat them better; they seem to think we can afford to wait for “our turn,” while the people they voted for run the country into the ground.

Remember when they said that this guy would turn out to be a terrible person. Funny how he isn’t and those who spoke against him are

I'm a Mamdani supporter, but even I know that the shareholders are obviously gonna unanimously approve this merger. I don't understand why he's talking about this. Can't wait for conservatives acting like this is gonna be a huge fail for Mamdani today.

Yes. This is what we need- a fearless fighter for the people with moral clarity. More of this please!💪🏼🌍🖖🏼

I'm with him all the way because we're just ABSOLUTELY gonna be cooked just ONLY for a while if Warner Bros. makes that super duper grave mistake in approving that merger with Paramount. They just REALLY gotta make sure that they are sending a strong message to Paramount, telling them that they are all good with everything that they really do have right up to this point.

I’m gonna vote yes even harder now

They can’t hear you over the Saudi kaching sounds.

Good for him to say no

But what about my portfolio?

Mergers always come with lay-offs.

Meanwhile at the shareholders sit down: “I’m told we can eliminate 1000’s of jobs if we go through with this”

He’s asking to keep workers simply on the basis of keeping workers, and not because it makes business sense.

haha when do shareholders care about people’s jobs

Uh no matter who bought it there was gonna be huge cuts...why did people wait til now... wasn't any outcry whem fox was killed off

Aside from some film industry jobs in NYC (but nowhere close to what it used to be with operations having moved to other cities providing incentives), why is the mayor doing weighing in on this? Dude, stop sipping your own Kool-Aid and run your city.
