Intergalactic Summit

... and the next item on the News of Things By Which Nobody Is Surprised, study shows things get wet if you drop them in water.

Glad to see that the State is already recovering from Heth's tyranny. I'd be willing to invest in the company as well, assuming that Gallenteans would be allowed to do so.

Not how they feel about Gallentean business, necessarily. Quafe is acknowledged by even the Amarrian Empire to be one of the most fair-minded, reasonable Megacorporations out there. Moreover, it has always treated with the State fairly, to the point that, if the Federation ever causes problems for it, we might well welcome it into the State. To be recognized as a Megacorporation in the State is to put it halfway there already.

On the other hand, Roden Industries would be viewed...less benevolently.

What this really represents an opportunity for is for non-Gallente Federation businesses. With the relaxation of many intentions on the Caldari side, the Jin-Mei and Intaki have many opportunities awaiting them in regards to trading with the State, and we welcome their business. It has always been the Mannar and the Gallente Ultra-Nats who have driven both the war effort and the belief that the Caldari should be forcibly returned to the Federation. Indeed, it is perhaps ironic that it is not the Gallente so much as the Mannar who have continually sought to place the Caldari at odds with the Federation.

I believe in war. I believe in conflict. But I am, I admit, sometimes tired of this endless recrimination. If we must fight, let us be at peace, and simply exercise controlled and civilized actions against each other's pilots in the current arenas. We have already moved towards this by drastically reducing the presence on non-capsuleer forces in complexes in the contested zones. Why not simply remove Caldari and Gallente naval forces from the theaters as combatants, and let the capsuleers contest over the areas as colored dots on a map? Bragging rights for everyone, and perhaps some action for the immortals on the ground. But without the swaps back and forth in planetary government.

At the rate in which system control changes now, we might as well just keep a separate planetary government for each side on the ground, preferably situated near a revolving door of some sort.

What the cluster wants to know is;

Should we invest in Caldari Corn Paste?

The way I see it, Fred will be able to purchase shares.

CC is a business, I cannot see why they'd turn down foreign investment. It is not like they'll allow the sum total of foreign investors to gain a controlling stake, even if they all vote together, so there should be no problem.

And i'm sure they could do with the money. Glad to see the State finally beginning to shed the last of the scars left by Heth. Now it just needs to lose the stigma, and possibly oust the last of his 'supporters'

The bitter aftertaste, for one.

Also many of my State and Federation business partners swear Matari corn tastes of rust. I don't agree with them, but it just doesn't sell well outside of Rens. You have to have a keen sense of business to deal with the Corn Paste world! And this is why I choose Caldari Corn Paste as my Paste of Preference!

Accept no substitutes! Caldari Corn Paste, working with the finest Caldari grains to provide to you the best Corn Paste this side of Domain!

I've heard from second hand sources that with the right seasoning and application to the right places of a Matari womans body...

Well it seems I've been enformed I can't finish that line of thought at this time.

Where is this 'our' coming from Diana?
Or are you referring to yourself and TomHorn? I suppose two is enough.

The share index does not lie though. KK and CC had both been losing value. This trend has halted and reversed since Heth was deemed a criminal.

of course these two data points couldn't possible be linked, could they?
It's not like the man responsible for funnelling corporate funds to the CPD has been removed from office and the CPD itself dissolved.
couldn't be that. I mean that would make your entire argument invalid. So the truth must be that the Federation are supplying the funds to make KK and CC simply 'seem' to be making more ISK than they have in over half a decade.

... ... ... ...

Or, the facts could be as they have been presented, and you could, you know, be wrong.
As usual.

By the way, Diana, it's worth pointing out that Heth is no longer a CEO of a Caldari corporation. A milestone has been reached.

A milestone towards... doom?
You know, I prefer to think about it as a temporary obstacle, and that it can be reverted. Don't forget, that Heth-haan wasn't born a CEO. He had earned this position before, he can do this again! After all, there is no one more merited than him in the whole cluster!
