How About a Campaign that Takes the Mask off of the Individuals Behind these Corporations?

[Futuristic Eskimo]

Yes it does.
Yes I am.

I view regulation like many here view capitalism. It ultimately leads to corruption and becomes a tool for the 1%.
First we need "more regulation", now we need "good regulation"...
as long as people are involved it all ends the same. Complete accountability seems to be the only way to go imo.

What downsides do you see to the removal of corporations, as we know them?

Corporations are the best and most efficient ways to create liquidity for the investors in a certain business. Its the reason that firms go public the the first place. Think of a situation where you and a friend start a company and it becomes a success. You want to retire but your friend does not. In instances such as this, the entire firm would most likely have to be sold off to the detriment of the operations of the company. While this example is relatively simple and you can answer by saying that all you will need to do is find a buyer for half the firm, this process is much more difficult and complex in real life. Also, doing this will completely destroy the average person's access to investing in big business and the equity markets in general. Your plan would increase wealth inequality breh. I'm hoping you aren't of the opinion that the structure of a corporation holds no advantages at all?

Edit: About your point on regulation, I had a meeting with an M&A banker from JP Morgan today. He was telling me how the firm was forced to divest from a particularly profitable commodities business due to increasing pressure from the government. The 1% definitely do not like regulation as it forces firms like jp morgan to stay in its lane. It just needs to be done effectively. Please, read this book breh. it will open your eyes in to what actually needs to be done to the financial system

No not at all, I'm just weighing those benefits against the cost.
Freedom from liability has fostered some rather questionable business practices, and created national emergencies(fiscal).
Of which we are all familiar.

Moreover, when the govt. sues AIG, no one goes to jail for ruining countless lives, cause AIG isnt a person. Its letters on a piece of paper... it isnt real. Holding AIG accountable is meaningless. This is insane to me.

The benefits of corporations are real though and i'll think it over some more.


side note: I was just using 'AIG' for name recognition, i'm not familiar with the actual case against them.

We're just never going to agree on the nature of regulation itself. I'm more familiar with the attempted regulation of the financial services industry and it is clear that Wall Street money is hindering the government's ability to do what it needs to do to serve the needs of the people.

I find your views to be ridiculous but you for being original breh. Seriously, read that book. It's very good.

It doesn't matter they have too much money and control, only to beat them is to get your weight up.

Start your own corporation, discover new inventions that will change the way we live and how the world works, and become super wealthy
while killing their businesses in the process.

Why do you think we're still using OIL, when there's plenty of other resources of clean energy that have been around forever

why did you think they killed Tesla when he figured out how everyone could get free electricity straight from the ionsphere

their system is their system, it is their strength, because also their weakness, because once you understand it and master it there's nothing they can do to stop unless they come kill you. And that's why you have to remain in the shadows hiding behind corporations just like them.
