Good post. You were only wrong a couple of times. You are one of those that still talks and acts as if there is yet hope for the US. Hope for this country is passe, son. We are not coming back. How often do empires come back? Oh, we are going to do our own manufacturing again? How we going to do that? Below is a list of companies who have sold out to foreign interests. Not all are American but the majority are. The major brands and their sheer numbers are going to shock you (everyone).Originally posted by Willie Pep 229 View Post

How ironic a company called American Apparel is now owned by a company from Canada. And that G.I. Joe is now China and Taiwan.Originally posted by Slugfester View PostComment

I know. And American icons like General Motors and Fender Stratocasters. They take the small too. I was surprised by Iron Man Competition.Originally posted by Anthony342 View PostComment

He's right.
G-Man would've changed Roy Jones Jr.'s career a lot if he had gotten through the fight with Benn.
One of my favorite fighters of all-timesComment

I forgot where I read it, but I remember someone saying and even seeing in some futuristic sci-fi show (Charlie Jade perhaps) where it said in the future, everything is/will be owned by 3-5 major corporations. On Charlie Jade, there were about 3-4 different worlds though. One of them was more peaceful and another was more of an industrialized big city, like a foreign big city, since it took place in South Africa.Originally posted by Slugfester View PostComment

I don't have any handy quotes but I remember reading Marx and he predicted bigger corporations would eat smaller corporations until the end.Originally posted by Anthony342 View PostComment
