      What's the bribe price for "serious" concern?

      Also, the journalist writing the article may wish to wear some armor on their neck.

        It's hard times and austerity so that's the default state now.

          As if it'd be better run by private interests in the US 😂

          The letter was sent on January 22 and suggests the debt-financed $55 billion acquisition, which will purportedly result in PIF holding a 93.4 percent stake in the Battlefield and Apex Legends publisher, will incentive layoffs, offshoring, studio closures, and other cost-cutting measures.

          "incentive"

          Also, isn't this what yanks have been doing for decades? Don't seppo businesses regularly fire a bunch of employees before the end of the financial year to have "record-breaking fourth quarter" and then hire back a bunch of people? Painting the Saudis as worse capitalists than the USAians is just hilarious

            Nothing will come of this unless it also concerns Republicans, but it doesn't, because the President's son-in-law helped make this deal happen and personally benefited from it.

              Probably like $10k each, or zero if you can get them to go to your pedo island.

                The concern: "Why aren't we in on it?"

                  Their concern isn't that people are getting laid off but that they'll be laid off here and replaced with people abroad; and the executives benefiting from the cost-cutting are no longer Americans in this case.

                    I think it's really only the latter: if rich yanks benefit = good, if non-yanks benefit = bad. They don't give two shits about USAians non in the C-suite being laid off. They haven't since the beginning and won't start now.

                      sauds are worse capitalists, but only in the sense that they regularly waste shitloads of $ on stupid shit in a last dotch effort to diversify themselves for the inevitable drying up of oil.

                      the US has been intertwining themselves with the UAE for decades as a part of their divide and conquer plan for the ME (which israel is a key part). the West does not want a unified ME, propping up the greedy predictable capitalist Sauds acts as easy source of power projection to keep rest of the area from unifying
