I really don’t have much of an argument against their contention.  I am totally against monopoly powers in the marketplace.  There is no doubt mergers hurt the over all economy.

I will just say when it comes to entertainment & leisure money, people always have a choice. In this industry, even when a company thinks they have a blank check to treat customers anyway which they choose, customers can and often do say no. “I will go somewhere and do something else.”

In leisure, a company can be booming one day and boarding up the windows the next day.  Bad decisions can kill a company that quickly.  And a city built on tourism can fade into a fad people have forgotten just as quickly.
