It's because they didn't buy Cinemax to combine them into a bigger more valuable brand with more IP. They bought out Cinemax to eliminate the competition.

It's just like spending, what was it, 44 billion dollars or something like that to own Twitter, and not even a year later you drop the brand and rename it X. Like, dude, any decent programmer or sysadmin could spin up a copy of Twitter in a few days of work. You paid $44 billion for the brand.

You should try looking at it some time. An apartment that was $700 5 years ago is now around $2000 in my area. And this is a low cost of living area where people aren't exactly desperate to live.
If you need losers in order to have winners, we should all be doing really well right now thanks to Trump.
