Today the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can spend as much money as they want influencing American Elections. If I lived in China or Russia, I'd be pretty happy.
The Supreme Court is made up of justices who demonstrate no understanding of how profoundly the world has changed due to changes in business, technology and communications. Not surprising, since the average age of the justices is 67, with several members far older than that. I suspect none of these justices ever worked in a global company.
Corporations today do not belong to any geography. They belong to their investors. And those investors can come from anywhere.
I'm not too happy over the US Supreme Court allowing corporations to spend what they want in elections. The scenarios I built were all pretty local, though. This analysis from Fast Company takes a much more global perspective. Read the whole post for a scenario that isn't very pretty.

It's not taking long to find evidence for the scenario just imagined.
