    I recognize their right and potential desire to do it, but I think the likely economic responses and ensuing global downturn isn’t worth the eventual possible payoff for them

    As an example of an actual unpopular opinion I have, I think it’s good that countries sell Nestle their water rights and then buy water back from them, if it results in a large enough economic impact for their nation.

        I am quite confident that the dollar will remain the world currency, likely until we move to a single world currency in the far future.

                  If Nestle bought the property to your town’s water supply, and sold it back to you for a profit, that would still be for the greater good?

                    If it means jobs at Nestle, income for the government from a large corporation that otherwise wouldn’t exist in a developing nation, and increased standard of living nationwide? Yes, absolutely.
