    It feels like companies like this eventually become vehicles for like 5 people to make lots of money. You can’t let go the guy making these mistakes - lining his pocket is the purpose of the company! It’d be ridiculous to fire him! Unless some of the other 4 people making money decide he’s keeping them from lining their pockets.

          or at least heavily taxed, which almost never happens because everyone in congress commiting insider trading wouldnt want that.

          If you banned investing, the rich people who already have money would be the only ones who could afford to open businesses.

            No common folk is getting rich thanks to the stock market. Maybe richer if they’re lucky, but let’s not pretend it’s a tool for social mobility. It’s the opposite.

            Not necessarily, no. Other people with common aims would still be able to band together via nonprofits, credit unions, labor unions and the like.

            It would actually be MUCH more effective once the most effective tool for exploding and concentrating wealth is out of the way.

              also loans still exist regardless of investment like stocks, which is the way most small businesses start anyway
