No, they’re not different. If you’re creating a co-op - your partners are still shareholders and investors. The only difference is that co-op is private, but public company is… Well, public. But the end result is the same.

That’s what public companies are. You buy their shares to help out with business and they share their profits. How much more of them do you want?

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it exists.

Drink it then.

If the government was ran like a business, the navy would make shit loads by invading everyone they can and the country would be better off! Change my mind.

Disgusting! What’s next? No footie?

May I offer you some nice warm tea?

“Tea” inside tea bags is just dust from the tea factory floors. Micro plastics are the least of your concern.

And yet they’ve democratically elected Netanyahu yet AGAIN.

There are no classes in America.

Well, raise that question with IRS then, because right now he’s fair and square and you’re talking bull shit.

That’s a great point! Let’s discuss it!

You see, regulations can be split into two categories: consumer protection and business protection.

Consumer protection policies and regulations protect consumers from business malpractice. For example, here in Europe we have 1-2 years (depending on the country) of warranty for every product sold enshrined in the law. And that’s something unheard of in the US, because communism or something.

On the other hand, business protection regulations protect existing businesses against competition. A good example is software patents: so common in the US, non existent in Europe.

Somehow when lobbyists are brainwashing American public to get more regulations, they’re talking about business protection and when they want to deregulate something they’re talking about removing consumer protections and American public makes the wrong choice every time.

Speaking of planes you can see this in Europe again: no competition regulations for air lines, yet strong consumer protections resulting in loads of air lines popping up all the time.

That’s some very sweet copium you have over there.

What a comeback! Your argument skills are beyond imagination! Well done!

No, you are the shareholder because you receive your salary into a bank account which then automatically gets invested (and unless your bank is ripping you off you should be getting a monthly interest) and you have a pension which is also invested. You are an ACTUAL shareholder.

The problem with any deregulation theory is that deregulation does not exist. Especially in a country like US.

Do you know something IRS doesn’t?

Well, maybe you need to think twice next time you want to post dumb shit.

He paid all the taxes he had to. And they just went to America’s favourite pass times: war and proxy genocides.
