The Tunney Act requires that when the government has concerns about a merger (which it did here) and then reaches an agreement with the merging companies (which it did here), the Feds must file the proposed settlement for approval by a federal court. Here’s a little context to help understand what is going on. The merger that means there are no longer two companies, but one. The merger that was actually consummated with shareholders last week. The merger that was approved by the Justice Department and several states. Monday, US District Judge Richard Leon (DC District) told CVS and Aetna to ‘hold your horses’ on their merger. However, I could have just gone with ‘King Leon’ and cut right to the chase. The Kings of Leon won the 2009 Record of the Year for the song, ‘Use Somebody,’ a lusty Bruce Springsteen type number that gave hope because another young band of hipster millennials recognized the spiritual importance of the Southern Rock influence. I prefer to characterize both the genre, and me, as ‘deep and textured.’ Yes, I am as psychologically confusing as the mix of rock and roll, country music and R&B would suggest.
I get my money’s worth from my Spotify subscription and their mysterious and magical algorithm that tracks my ‘likes’ will show that Southern Rock is the genre to which I lean the most.
I went with ‘Kings of Leon’ only because it gave me a free pass on giving a tip of the cap to one of my favorite songs. There were two slight variation options for today’s post title.
