Since Microsoft is organising a European Sovereign Tech Fund, we should ask Lockheed Martin to put together a European Sovereign Defense Fund. There’s probably also opportunity here to bring Amazon in to advise on EU labour standards and have McDonald’s take the lead on food safety policy in the EU.

Ooh, Philip Morris should sponsor tobacco research again! No one complained about how smoking was unsafe back then, so it must've been safe.
