Companies grow and shrink endlessly. They buy underpriced assets and sell off overpriced, underperforming assets. It is all part of a free, capitalist society. History has shown that centrally managed, socialist economies ultimately fail and underperform free economies. That doesn't mean that everyone will get treated fairly or equally or that freedom doesn't extract a cost to some people. But IMHO that is better than the alternatives.
