As stated in data released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford Motor Company has had the highest number of recalls since 2010 with a count of 545 total. Many of these recalls had to do with Ford’s airbags, electrical systems, fuel systems, powertrains, and other components.

Not far behind Ford Motor Company is Forest River with a total of 527 recalls since 2010. Forest River is the largest manufacturer in the United States for recreational vehicles and trailers. The size and complexity of an RV means there are more areas throughout the vehicle where issues could arise. Therefore, Forest River’s vehicles are more susceptible to errors that could require safety recalls than traditional automobiles.

Chrysler, also known as Stellantis since a merger with brands like Dodge and Jeep in 2021, has had 514 recalls since 2010. As one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the United States, their number of recalls is nearly proportionate to their share of the U.S. automobile market. Daimler Trucks North America ranks fourth with 465 safety recalls, mostly due to the steering and electrical systems in their trucks.

Despite being the largest automaker in the United States and seeing increased sales in recent years, General Motors comes in only fifth place. Hopefully, they will continue this drop in the number of safety recalls of their vehicles in upcoming years.

The history of Hollywood is rife with cutthroat business moves behind the glitz and glamor of what we see on camera. The team at Wyoming LLC Attorney made that clear with this timeline of the film industry’s biggest mergers and acquisitions. Following this timeline, we can see that five major film studios dominate the industry: Universal, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, and Sony Pictures.

The team even went so far as to show us how much percent of the market share each company owns. Universal and Disney come out on top respectively. Between them they own almost half the film industry’s market shares. We can see lists of subsidiaries owned by each studio below the timeline.

For example, Universal owns the following:

• Focus Features (Brokeback Mountain, London Has Fallen)
• Working Title Films (Les Miserables, Notting Hill, Bridget Jone’s Diary, Bean)
• Illumination (Despicable Me, Super Mario Bros. Movie)
• Dreamworks Animation (Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon)
• Amblin Partners (Jurassic Park, Men in Black, War of the Worlds, Ready Player One)
• Blumhouse Productions (Get Out, Halloween, The Purge, Insidious)
• Carnival Films (Firelight, Downton Abbey, Shadowlands)
• Peacock
• NBC News/CNBC/MSNBC
• Syfy
• E!
• Bravo
• Telemundo

There’s no doubt that timeline is an enlightening look at the film industry, highlighting the tendency of larger studios to absorb their competition. Some speculate that further mergers might narrow these big five studios down to

We love graphs that make huge scale business deals easy to digest and understand. This chart is a great example, showing us a timeline of major telecommunications deals and mergers. As we follow the path of the telecom world through the timeline, we see that there was once a wealth of cellphone carrier options. Today, this isn’t the case. We’re down to three major cellphone carrier options. These are: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile. We have a visualization of what exactly happened to all these companies that used to be household names.

One example we can see is the fate of Mint Mobile. A lot of people recognize this name because Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds was their spokesperson. T-Mobile made a lucrative deal to acquire Mint in 2023 and luckily for the company, Ryan Reynolds agreed to remain a spokesperson.

Out of all the companies, AT&T is the most successful with the most subscribers. But there is a thing as too much success. Because the competition for telecommunication has shrunk over the past few decades, the US Justice Department has intervened and investigated multiple big deals that may have breached monopoly laws. This happened when AT&T had to abandon their planned merger with T-Mobile. With only two major players left in the market, they would have violated monopoly laws. T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint also came under fire, but was ultimately allowed to go through. Many of these mergers are worth millions and billions, so we think graphs like these showing the trajectory of a whole industry are fascinating!
