Another Huge Story You Probably Missed

Here's another huge story you probably missed.  The German train maker Siemens will merge with the French train maker Alstom. 

The reason is to compete better with China's train maker, China Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC).  
With trains being the primary mode of transportation in this century, competition to be the leading train maker is a huge economic incentive for the companies and countries involved. 
Both companies sell their trains globally, including to cities in the United States.
