I have been noodling that question for a while. There are a number of issues to be considered.
Over the next few days, I will share some of my initial thinking on this. Today the first question in this series...
1. Would the US government even allow such a merger?

@DocAndersen I have seen mergers in Europe that should have not been allowed, but the Governments agreed.

@LadyDuck There have been several, I always wonder why they don't jump in sooner.

I find it interesting, they may consider the overall market impact of such a merger globally,
