Well, they’re separated by the Panama canal, so by the same token that Africa and Asia aren’t the same land mass, neither are the Americas.

I’ve got chestnut trees in my yard, but they’re Japanese chestnuts – yours might be, too.

My dad has been obsessed with this my whole life. The dude just really likes American chestnut trees.

The shareholders can go and buy a diversified portfolio on their own, by investing in many companies, so they can derisk their portfolio without conglomeration.

If they already own shares of the conglomerating company, its returns will be lower (they don’t care that it’s less risky; they’ve diversified already). Similarly, the returns of the company that is now becoming part of the conglomeration will likely be reduced, which negatively affects shareholders of that company.

I’m around 11 years and a few hundred thousand karma. At this point I use reddit on desktop for a couple of specific communities that haven’t made it over here.

All my mobile / time killing stuff has moved to lemmy.

It mostly just annoys the crap out of me, honestly. Glad to be in a cool new place but goddammit reddit, you didn’t have to do this crap.
