The Republican Myth Promoting Corporate Leaders as Satisfactory Presidents.

Using only my personal observations of the individuals winning through the business based selection process for ultimate leadership of large international corporations, no one meets the leadership needs of a large nation.

A nation or government exists for the long term with infinite goals based on vastly variable perceptions and realities. In our case, we have 50 states, four or more time zones, an unknown number of dialects, and living conditions from homeless urban to selfish, internationally rich.

A corporation, serves itself, often the self gets described as 'stock holders.' Few accredit executive leadership as de facto ownership. That ownership, given stock options and bonus and perks, demands the label, Ownership.

And, the ascent to the Ownership leader position kills off internal competition. Much like the palace intrigues of Royal 'cousins' and would be heirs to thrones. In that process, some see politics. But, a failed presidential candidate like John McCain remains a post election power. No corporate winner would allow that.

Corporate leadership assumes short term tenures forcing short term goals.

No country, founded on rejection of unrepresentative government, should consider any corporate leader, as I have described them, as a viable candidate for control of the world's future.

Let's see how this chicken processing idea works.

So, we grow the chickens and kill them. Freeze or refrigerate it. Pack it. Inventory it. Load it in containers. Put the containers on ships. Inventory it. Transport it through the Panama Canal paying fees. Cross the Pacific Ocean. Pay to dock. Unload. Inventory. Unpack the containers. Organize and process. Re-pack and re-label. Inventory it. Load into containers. Load containers onto ship. Inventory it. Cross the Pacific Ocean, again. Pass through the Canal paying fees again. Pay to dock in the US. Unload and inventory. Ship to distribution centers. Inventory. Store at proper temps. Sell. Ship to stores. Then, we pay the fuel bills, shipping crew, cargo hands, dispose of all the used packaging material. ---- and now we have chicken to eat. Well done, private enterprise.

I don't have a problem with any of that. It's basic outsourcing 101. Labor is cheaper in China. There are no regulations on processing chicken overseas. There's no workers comp, no pensions, and no unemployment. We can even hire 12 year old virgins to handle the chicken.

China gets jobs. They get chicken guts, beaks, and feet. Well, they get to visit with the guts, beaks, and feet before grinding it into McDonald's chicken nuggets. They get used plastic and cardboard boxes plus a chance for Ebola from the Liberian ship's crew.

It's a win win for everyone including the world traveling chicken.
