This chart shows that most products we buy are controlled by just a few companies. It's called “The Illusion of Choice.” Despite a wide array of brands to choose from, it all comes back to the big guys.

They should have a chart to see who controls the Media and linked those to Politicians.

Calling it diversity or monopoly depends on whether you're a shareholder or a consumer.

Same thing happened to the auto industry and most industries even trash, most of the time the company with the biggest pockets ends up buying the competition and keeping the name as you said to present an image of options.

There are no other consequences. Be it a small business or a corp, the CEO's key goal is the same. In my experience, having big corps is good for smaller businesses because it leaves wide gaps; gaps that they simply cannot reach. It's those same ones that smaller businesses can capitalise on, and grow.

OT: Out of all the brands I've eaten and used today, only one product brand falls under that mapping. Also, it's is erroneous and outdated.

Kraft,Coca Cola,Nestle,and Pepsico just laid off workers my cousin was one of the layoffs for Coca Cola about a year ago, Many Corporations are hurting local business here in the U.S. they just can't keep up anymore.
