The current and future trends regarding
Mergers & Acquisitions
The
current and future trends regarding Mergers & Acquisitions in the technology
sector is based on the tendency of big corporation to invest in companies that
help them compromise legally citizen’s privacy issues.
Mergers
and Acquisitions will be in the next two years mainly in technologies and
business that subtly can use hardware or software to get data from users
behaviors.
In
my humble opinion in the next two years the most important mergers and
acquisitions will always have an issue related to ACLU, NSA or the American
Psychological Association.

An America of Value: Making U.S. Government Pay Off
An America of Value: Making U.S. Government Pay Off
For America, the gap between soaring expenses and stagnant incomes is filled by debt.
At the same time, 40% of Americans, work in jobs that don't have any future.
America's higher problem calls for both wiser choices by American people and better value from U.S. Government.
What's really needed in America is major structural change. To remain viable, America needs to cut expenditures dramatically.
For decades, America have ridden the American-loan gravy train, using the proceeds to build palatial bureaucracy , reduce entrepreneurship and, most notably, hire armies of civil service and administrators.
When something can't go on forever, it will stop.
