Re: Mitt Romney - Auto Industry
Finally, auto company home Michigan voted for Romney in the republican primary. If there's going to be any place that the auto industry has undeniable influence, it's there. So if the auto industry wanted McCain over Romney, they failed big time in their backyard.
​
Of course, it must be remembered that Romney is a defacto Favorite Son of Michigan and would be very hard to beat there, no matter what the details were.

Re: Interpretations
If you did get all of the CEO's of all of the biggest corporations in one room and got them to vote on who they wanted to be in power and what policies they wanted them to have I think it would end in a dispirate brawl of non-agreement.
​
What is good for one industry is not necessarily good for another. What is important to one sector is not to another. What benefits one company in one sector of industry causes a competitor in that same sector to lose market share etc. etc.
​
if you check the resumes of all these CEOs you'll find they own shares in everything across all industries. if one industry suffers while another profits, you can bet the CEOs of both will profit.
​
they have protected themselves long ago.

Re: Part 2
In fact, Micky Arison, and most owners of sporting teams, are billionares...not a bad idea to let blacks integrate for after all, eh?
​
AGAIN, not that this was the reason for integration, but lets not pretend that they aren't making a fuck load of money, that they would not have made when the game was "whites only". - by comparison.
​
indeed. it may have took as long as it did because the financial structures to funnel the money to them werent known and put in place yet.
