Around here we have been watching the would-be merger of Office Depot and Staples rather closely. Office Depot is headquartered in Delray Beach, so the merger would result in the loss of hundreds of home office jobs.
The merger proposal was instigated by corporate raider “activist investor” Jeffrey Smith, whose company, Starboard Value, owns a stake in both companies. I started looking for info on Smith online, and when I came across a photo of him in a Google search, I was sure I had made the biggest typo ever.
One of the photos below is of Smith. The other is everybody’s favorite misogynist senator, Rand Paul. See if you can determine which is which. (By the way, the FTC is still blocking the merger on anti-trust grounds. Theoretically, this could become an issue in the presidential election.)
