Way too late, people. Next time, pay attention while there's something you can do about it. This deal was a done deal on Sept 1. This week, ES&S pretty much dismantled Premier. 2/3 of the company was fired. More changes are in the works. Premier has been digested. The deal cannot now be undone any more than you could put last night's dinner back together and serve it to friends and family. Nauseating thought? So are monopolies and so are sleeping lemmings. Turn off Dancing with the Stars and start paying attention.
