Of course, it depends on how it falls.

Preferrably, with the least amount of casualties as possible. However, with the way the political system is, if the country were to hypothetically "fall", I think it'd split into 2-3 countries. Depends on how much crap the people decide to let the country get away with. Which is to say, at the moment, they'd let you rob a bank

Just give all X-men and F4 related rights back to Marvel Disney. Fox's Marvel movies are so garbage. And so we can also get a proper Marvel vs Capcom game.

Because many of your representatives are corrupt or have been bought out, lobbying is legal and the president is a corporate crony.

Can you imagine, if it had been so since the beginning of the past century?

A trillion-dollar Standard Oil pushing fossil fuel into the 22nd century, and AT&T suffocating phone and internet services. It would likely be a less technologically advanced society as well, since there would be less innovative start-ups because of the fear of being copied or defeated by anti-competitive behaviour (something Google and Facebook, two companies which should have been broken-up already, are being accused of doing right now).

The fall of this country cannot come soon enough

I remember arguing with someone very recently about the US being an oligarchy.  Honestly, if you need more evidence than the FTC turning their heads and whistling at monoplies in all media, SOPA passing after the 100th lobbyed attempt, and incomes >170k a year not being taxed for Social Security, you need your head looked at.

This would greatly aid Disney when they launch their Netflix rival in 2019.

Surely anti-trust regulation would take effect sooner or later, right?

No, as long as they don't own most of the market share. In the world of movies Disney makes probably 10% of all the movie profits made a year. Anti-trust regulation for important things that can actually affect our daily lives.

Correct. This wouldn't come close to monopoly, especially without the purchase of Fox News and Fox Sports.
