  We could. But think of the shareholders.

    I think of the shareholders, board, c-suites, and all of their friends every time I gaze upon my Guillotine.

    we would all be ‘shareholders’ of public services for public good.

      That sounds like less money in my bank account, and how am I supposed to feel superior towards my lessers without denying them wealth that I only actively support due to aforementioned superiority complex?

      You are a stock holder. Your entire pension is mainly in stocks, i can guarantee it.

        What a corrupt system, they have made us complicit in our own exploitation, if we try to stop it, we will be the first on the chopping block, it is monstrous that our pensions have been stolen and turned against us, and of course, WILL DISAPPEAR when we actually go to collect so they can put us in meat packing hospices for a quick, wished-for death once we are no longer profitable

  Wish granted. Instead giving 3% the annual military budget to nasa we give 4% now. The new research in physics helps everyone and advances our society.

  But just like with every monkey’s wish there is an unexpected side and it’s that even tho shareholder profit didn’t increase in short-term, in long-term they got better lives too now due to trickle-up economics.
