    Something Interesting from Trumps Speech last night

    watching Trump's speech, you can see it here

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...ence.html?_r=0

    and focusing on his aggressive stance on using carrots and sticks to encourage American companies to create American jobs if they want access to the American market, he is currently focusing on car manufacturing, military manufacturing, and he mentioned pharmaceuticals

    here's the thing

    for the last generation, presidents and prime ministers have really danced to the tune of the big companies

    if Trump succeeds to get the big companies to dance to the tune of the country and the president and the government

    then...

    this could lead other countries and regions to follow suit

    and could actually be the unravelling of the status quo where big companies are dictating to governments

    this will be interesting to watch

    if Trump is successful, the only option will be for other countries and regions to follow suit and by Trump being successful it will force the big companies to accept this direction

    What does the jury think

    Milan.

    I think he'll be shot before the year is out.

        I don't think he is the right person to fix the inequality issues. But neither - and even less so - was Clinton. I wish him success, because the status quo (for non baby boomers) is tulip.

          you're right about the status quo for non-baby boomers if something isn't done , and I have never seen a politician, political leader be so upfront in their intentions to take on the inequality question

            Bernie Sanders was up for it.

              Countries have leverage over corporations in direct proportion to the importance and size of their markets.
              As part of the EU, we could have done something about the corps, outside we're too small.
              60 million market? Fook orf. Part of a 420 million market? Yes sir 3 bags full sir.

                The EU is a plutocracy hostage to big corporates. What you are asking is for EU chain smokers to get the tobacco companies to stop making cigarettes. Never ever going to happen.

                The EU is not fit for purpose. We tried changing it from the inside. It's not possible.

                  Your cliches haven't addressed my point.
                  Besides it's the UK within the EU that had the most laissez faire approach to large corporations, and if Tory policy continues will continue to do so outside the EU.

                  HTH, BIDI.

                    In theory a larger country/negotiate would be able to exert its might; yes. But money/wealth has a lot to do with this (Luxemberg, Singapore, Qatar - all do very well on the global stage - due to their obscene wealth).

                    But in practice, the EU has exploited it's leaverage to benefit the few and not the masses. A bit like our bankers using our nation's collateral for their dirty gambling habit; then vomiting on about too big to fail. They were getting bonuses and champagne parties whilst getting bailed out FFS!

                    So I would rather be in a smaller club, playing with a straight bat; than in a totally dodgy league. We can set an example for others to follow. You'd argue that we will get eaten for breakfast. But I believe we will gain huge global respect for our integrity.

                    You think the rest of the EU are going to watch us liberate from our shackles and not want a slice?
