McDonald's are considering changing their corporate name to McDolly's

Need I mention the fact that the European Unions roots are that of business alliances. State membership only started a few decades ago. The original ideal of the EU started in the fifties and it was open agreements between key sectors of industrial support. Used to normalize coal production and sales, eventually other large corporations started to join.

The EU is akin to a corporate board guiding the lives of the Europeans. Hell, they have their own currency for crying out loud. One of the reasons the Euro is strong is because it is backed by steadily regulated industrial elements.
