In the article, "CenturyTel to buy Qwest in $10.6 billion stock swap" by Andy Vuoung describes Quest and CenturyTel to be merging and having layoffs while paying off the shareholders. Quest supplies Colorado with many jobs and to merge is going to lay off some of those jobs. If all corporations merged than those corporations would make more money and make some of the smaller businesses go out of business. Quest and CenturyTel might take even more small companies out of business. Quest and CenturyTel shouldn't merge because it could hurt the economy more than help it.
