      The same companies most possibly destroying our planet? The horror

          Right now, most corporations are organized like monarchies or oligarchies where the guys on the top make the rules, and the rest just execute them. This would democratize corporate ownership. We spend at least half of our time awake at work. We should have a voice on how the companies we work for should operate.

          I’m a software developer, and in the big companies I worked for until today, there is a big disconnect between the decisions taken up high and us, the workers. I’ve seen so much talent be wasted because upper management only cares about short term profit. Or inhumane decisions like laying off an entire site a week before Christmas.

      It’d be complicated to extract this from companies they own without destroying the companies

      In that case, let’s do it and destroy the companies at the same time. Two birds with one stone.

      I mean, we’re talking about taking the wealth and distributing it for more constructive purposes, if it doesn’t demolish a handful of fortune 500s in the process we’ve made a mistake. Those fortunes would then be able to be used to take all the workers pointlessly generating wealth for the billionaire class and start working on socially useful ventures

        It depends, in theory Amazon should be more efficient but that only works if you close most of the brick and mortar stores and replace it with housing or something useful.
