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 my 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
Not just that. I actually lied when i said that "your" pension is in stocks. It is in fact the current pension for that are retired right now. Unless there are as many younger people working and paying taxes to fund your retirement by the time you're old enough, you're not gonna have one.
