No, it's saying you can vote if you buy a share. Are you saying that wealthy individuals in a democracy don't have an outsized advantage in shaping policy and the behaviour of government? But they have the same voting rights as you or me, so there must be something else going onβ¦

You're saying that withholding your money from a company has no effect on its behaviour? Try cancelling a long standing account with a company today, like your phone provider, and see if it provokes any kind of response. You might get a free upgrade out of it.
Which is saying that you can only have a "vote" if you're wealthy enough. That doesn't seem like an actual solution to me.
> and you can decide to spend (or not) your money with a company.
Which is what I do, but doing that doesn't affect the company's behavior.
