So, you take the land and all the equipment and/or resources on it.

Great! Sooo... How?

Maybe my question of "How?" is not specific specific enough?

For example, if you just walk into the building and tell everyone to leave because you want to take it, that approach would not work. They would call the police, who would then force you to leave.

Does this clarify my question?

Well, eminent domain is just something the government can do in the USA. You might not have that in your country and I totally understand you not getting how it works. That's fine. Just understand it is a tool that has overwhelmingly been used to fuck over minorities and the poor. With your questioning, you sound like you are supporting it only being used that way.

Man, every reply seems to be answering a question that was not asked (not intentionally, anyway).

Understanding that I'm blursed with a neurodivergence that sometimes makes communication a little difficult, I can usually narrow down the source of confusion in situations like this. However, I still can't seem to figure this one out.

At my age, I have enough wisdom to know that I should just give up at this point... Yet still enough foolishness to keep going anyway. So here I go :/...

eminent domain is just something the government can do in the USA.

Ok, so, going back up to the top-level comment where this all started, they said, "We should use Eminent Domain to take majority control in stock in every publicly traded company." But if it's just something the government can do, then how would "we" use eminent domain for this?

You might not have that in your country and I totally understand you not getting how it works.

I'm in the USA :/. Do most people know how to do this?

it is a tool that has overwhelmingly been used to fuck over minorities and the poor. With your questioning, you sound like you are supporting it only being used that way.

At this point, I feel like it's extremely foolish to ask this again, but...

How???

I reviewed all of my previous replies, and can't find a single thing that sounds like I support literally anything at all.

If anything... If my replies were written by someone else, and I tried to reach really far as a reader... I suppose asking how to take action could maybe imply support for – not against – "[using] Eminent Domain to take majority control in stock in every publicly traded company."

Multiple people have replied to me in this thread, so I'm clearly the common denominator. It would be valuable for me to understand how we got here. Can someone please help me untangle this?
