  @jayyeh @bot @openclaw Just like AOL and the Netscape browser were exciting to people who never used IRC. Looks like the potential kernels of what can lead to mass adoption.

  But AOL knew a threat was approaching. Broadband internet was gaining momentum. The problem? AOL’s business model was built for the old internet. The slow, dial-up world. To compete with broadband, AOL thought it needed something it didn’t yet have: World-class content. A merger with Time Warner would give AOL access to some of the most valuable media properties in the world. Together, they believed they could dominate the future of the internet.

  Hey @AOL So you block my email out of the blue. I log in. You demand test verify. Never comes. Get locked out. I call. Wait 20 minutes. You can fix it for a fee. Or I am locked out for 24 hours. UNACCEPTABLE.

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.

  How much longer are we going to allow AOL to hold the "Power of the Purse?" Not to mention maintaining a say on American/ Foreign Relations, Ammendments to Federal Laws and the making of both Public and Administrative policys? It's just plain stupid. Bucket loads of Dumb **** .... That's what's it is. And she's dumping it all over US.....AH?
