A lot harder to get the worms back into the can than to let them out.  If
everything said about them is true, then it appears that CC is their own
worst enemy, and a lot of their actions could turn around and bite them.
Having a huge empire means lots of bureaucracy, and they could collapse
under their own weight.  Also, their reputation for cheapness will hurt
them long term, when things start to fall apart.  Does anyone really think
more gov't meddling is gonna clean up the mess they made in the first
place?  "I'm from the government, I'm here to help".
