America is a shell of a nation. So much lost.

This list is sloppy.

It intermixes US-founded companies that have been bought out by foreign companies…

… with headquarters buildings - i.e just real estate - that have been bought by foreign companies.

Very. The list and headline contents do not match. One implies the company, the other, physical structures.

You are not the first person today that expressed what you just posted. There is an emptiness. A loss of imagination and originality in America anymore.

Neither did I. In order to feed my family, I spent my professional life overseas instead of being underemployed at home.
Will do it again if need be.

I hate to say it but the left won. They destroyed the soul of our nation. Those of us who care enough to want to put things back together would be fighting impossible odds.

The Biden administration has eradicated American greatness. This administration’s pick list is going to be a litany of lows. There’s nothing to be proud about anymore. Heck even my church has been overtaken by Satan.

Campbell’s soup is still significantly owned by the founding family descendant(s). Mary Alice Malone holds 18% and I believe she’s a holder by at least marriage. I have stock in Campbells. Decent dividend, soup/easy foodstuffs sell well in any economy…
