OK, a little food for thought...
World wide Coca-Cola sells 4,000 beverages per second. Now, let's just
assume that the average price for a beverage is 50 cents, US. Let's make
another assumption that they take one tenth of one percent of that, one
half of a US cent, and turn it back into "development." That's two dollars
a second. Get out your calculators and figure how much that is over a year.
Sixty-three million dollars a year in liquid assets to expand your empire.
Show me another corp with that kind of cash flow. I tell you, corporations
are scary things.
