And the reason is you think you might buy the wares of the multinationals?

Do you have any logic here?
Yes, thanks for asking. The length of this conversation may be creating the impression that I care about this more than I do. The ownership of the company doesn't matter to me as much as the facts that Obama has to write a book for the one and just show up and give a speech for the other, and that the publisher is going to receive concrete value from selling copies of the book. YMMV.

AON, Hasan Minhaj killed at last night -- worth watching.
