In reply to the discussion: STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Monday, 26 March 2012 [View all]AnneD
(15,774 posts)40. This is the problem I have with multinational companies......
they have no loyalties. Their CEO's have no county loyalty. Their only allegiance is to the company they work at until their contract or the profits run dry. They are like a roving plague of locusts.
Just like maintaining an automotive manufacturer, maintaining refining capability is essential to maintaining our national sovereignty and security. Which brings me to the thought that maybe they don't want us to have our sovereignty. Maybe their idea of the future of humanity is a world wide feudal working class, a corporate merchant class, and a less that 1% ruling class.
That is what it looks like to this curmudgeon.
