Talking, the common needs of politics and business

Tressie 2022-04-20 09:01:25

For those who still do not understand the essential commonality of business and politics, I recommend it.

The United States is far ahead in this regard, starting with politics and continuing to entertainment and commerce. In the United States, there is no difference between business and politics. One is to vote, the other is to cast money; one manages the country, and the other manages the company, both of which are a collection of human, financial and property; Don't change it. The only difference is that as the company grows bigger, it is possible to transcend the scope of the country and move towards an international organization with the nature of the United Nations; while the country grows bigger, it can run rampant, put the army on other people's territory, and kill people. ... It's hard to say which one is bigger or which is smaller, and it's hard to say which one is more difficult to manage, but, in essence, there is really no difference between politics and business.

So countries and companies need the same leaders. If you are best at talking, you can talk about the dead and sell guns and ammunition to peace organizations, then congratulations, basically in the United States, you can swim in the circle of celebrities, just like the protagonist in the film.

However, tying one's life to two lips is always going to be a little dangerous and scary. To be human, you need something else, you say.
