From Clarence Young:

In my international business travels and learning experience I know that McDonalds put heavy amounts of capital, training and created thousands of jobs in Russia before it opened its first restaurant. I also know that President Vincente Fox of Mexico worked his way up through Coca-Cola driving delivery trucks, training for sales and ultimately a management position with the company before being elected as president of his country.

Forgot about that.

As for dissent, well, here’s one slightly different take on things.

And I really don’t know what to make of this, a suit alleging that Coca-Cola hired right-wing paramilitary thugs to knock off union organizers in its Columbia bottling plants. My guess is that if there’s any merit at all to the suit (and consider that the source is a far-left activist news network), it was done by the individual bottling plants, without Coke’s involvement.

Bottling plants are largely independent from Coca-Cola, Inc. But who knows. If any of you have any dirt on this suit you’d like to share, I’d be much obliged.
