Corporations...corporations!!

"Corporations... corporations... all is corporations!"

We typically becry the negative impact and self-indulgent domination of corporate cultures, that is if our heart is in the right place, the place of the common man. But maybe we should rethink that and instead direct our energies towards accepting and humanizing corporations in his service. The secretive, autocratic, self-serving, actions of governments these days do not seem to be an option.

The tragi-comical display of government, from Ukraine to Syria, to Israel as always... You cannot make this stuff up: Rodman & Kim Jung-un; professional heavyweight boxer Klitschko on the barricades... Netanyahu referring to settlements as "a few houses"...

Gosh, what happened to empathy?

Just think what Walmart has done for poor people: enabled them to participate in what vicious, uninsured capitalism denies them the decency of. While secluded academics gratuitously talk, cozy in their offices, polishing their retirement plans, with nothing to offer.

Manchester United has dropped out of the top three in Deloitte's football rich list for the first time.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich were in the first three places in Deloitte's list, which is based on revenues in the 2012-13 season.

Real Madrid, with revenues of 518.9m euros (£444.7m), topped the list for the ninth year in a row, breaking a record previously held by Man Utd.

French champions Paris Saint Germain took fifth spot in the table.

Despite falling down the pecking order, United's revenues increased from 395.9m euros to 423.8m euros.

The total combined revenue for the top 20 richest clubs rose 8% to 5.4bn euros, the report found. The list only looks at revenues accrued and does not take into account club debts.... [more, click on link above]

By the way: look what that nasty Man U Vidic is doing to that nice Chelsea Torres...
