The time of megacorps is not that far off, in fact I belive it is already
here. They just aren't as overt as they are in 2050. My brother in law is a
VP for Coca-Cola, and them folks own a peice of everything. Not just food
and beverage, but telecommunications, computers, construction, finance, you
name it. And its far worse outside of the US. Coke practically owns
portions of Latin America. It would be interesting to find out just how
much corporate sabotage actually goes on today, and it what form.

From what I've heard, the Hershey Corporation is the biggest there
is, in terms of sheer size.
