AT&T's key thesis in buying Time Warner is that the combined company could speed up the development of new types of online video (which it would own), and drive bigger profits by marrying AT&T's consumer data with Time Warner's TV content to sell targeted advertising, which is worth more than the usual advertising.

But in making the case for the deal, the company has a big problem: The most compelling business arguments for the deal — that the new megacompany can boost profits by giving Time Warner content favorable treatment on AT&T's wired and wireless networks — are also the arguments that are most likely to attract skepticism from regulators.

"GM likely has some ability to recover a portion of these lost profits by shifting production from 3Q into 4Q, although the automaker will also likely be limited in its ability to add production for vehicles already in high demand or in launch mode (such as its high profit full-size "heavy duty" pickup trucks)," Brinkman said.

Free trade also permitted many companies to fatten their profits by exploiting the wedge between Greenspan's inflated wages in the U.S. and the rice paddy wages of the EM. Indeed, the alliance of the Business Roundtable, the Keynesian Fed and Wall Street speculators on behalf of free money and free trade is one of history's most destructive arrangements of convenience.

As Zoller Seitz writes in The Oliver Stone Experience, in JFK the Kennedy assassination is, incredibly, mere means to Stone's larger end: to warn the viewer that since the end of World War II, the United States has not truly been a democracy, in the sense that school textbooks idealistically claim, but a whey-faced dictatorship run by the military-industrial complex—a loose consortium of interests linked by the desire to acquire and hold power by generating public fear of "enemies" within and without, then generate profits by selling arms and munitions to the U.S. military in order to defend against those same enemies.
