Governments are adopting the international outreach of megacorps.

Megacorps are adopting the level of competence of governments.

I see no contradiction here.



> Megacorps are adopting the level of competence of governments.

Any sources for that? From all the studies (and anecdotes) I've seen, MNCs are vastly more competent that most local companies, and the latter are also _usually_ still more competent than government.


The post I replied to said:

> By and large, governments are still vastly less competent than multinational corporations.

I just agreed with them. Adopring the level of competence of governments, when governments are not competent, doesn't imply an upward movement.
