Quote"This is part of the China trade-off," said Aswath Damodaran, a professor of finance at the Stern School of Business at New York University. "If your market is so big, we'll accept rules and regulations we wouldn't in other parts of the world."

If the market is big enough, capitalism will accept communism. Wonderful.

But it does happen in the West.

A big reason why a lot of the big corporations want the UK to stay in the EU is certainty of markets and profits coming first. Never mind that democracy is tenuous at best in the EU itself. But hey, it's a big market, so don't muddy the waters with wanting to have a say in the laws you live by.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
