Russian political leaders are still coming to terms with the imperatives of the Capitalist market system. Russian Tycoon's will invest the funds they control to maximize returns. What ever the long run cost to Russian economic development. So when the government draws up agreements specifying expected behavior of a company always include an extremely severe penalty clause for non compliance. This is used elsewhere and generally concentrates the companies 'mind' on the need to meet its obligations.

Yes, that is right Babeouf. I agree with you. You cannot argue with Crawn in Canada for a simple reason that Crawn represent interest of Canadians and its country Canada. Very often, it is basic human ritht to defend common interest against numerous private-pablic finacail monsters.

You'll get used to creativity as time rolls on. After all, great risks and sacrifice are both part of the game of their genius. It takes two to tango, they'll say, so you have to set up lots of traps or they'll get to your first. Kill or be killed or trapped - by your own will and desire of course. In America, most are independent in ratio to themselves via method of raising, which means self-driven and motivated no clear lines of authority or anything, so you really have to watch your back because all are for one of any value against one without anysort of protection or sane thought-process, but you can't say that, lest you be insane. And anyone can transform into anything at anytime for another because most are on lines of semi-desperation due to isolation of various sorts and basic insecurities and limited understandings of emotions. You have to learn to know things and not give in to the gibberish. We've had a few decades of this. I'm sure you'll learn to enjoy it as well. Right now, you still care, but you'll eventually give in when you have to or forget why you care.

Babeouf I totally agree, but the policy you outline is great for a temporary measure. the much more self sufficient and generally efficient method to police these procedures would be to bring effective competition into the market. In fact the THREAT of effective competition is IN IT SELF a very good motivator. that in its self is the most effective policy; it is the administrators job to use all the leavers that is in its power to effectively create competition, whether that includes creating founding companies in the interim or just directing incentive based funding to the right people, if in the end the 'entity' whatever it may be , Food , Natural resources, etc. is exploited by more competitors everyone wins. except big companies that are used to always winning. The benefits are obvious, more employment, better wages and more liquid monetary market, which in turn runs on to the service side of the economy.
