honest question: i don’t know enough to know why it might be good, but isn’t the whole idea of the stock market just kinda wrecking fucking everything?
But shareholders are the ones with actual power over companies. They are the ones the corporate executives fear. Not the government or the public. Assuming the execs don’t also own a majority of shares that is.
The solution is to just become a shareholder obviously. Just get a small million dollar loan from your dad and get started.

All you need to be a shareholder is one share. That could be as little as $10 for some stocks.
