You're not reading me. We are the companies. 99% of companies are small business. No such monopoly.

I’m not disputing the value of collective effort.

I’m disputing our implementation that favors minority capture of collective effort.

Why do I need to be a “company”?

We already have a system of collective effort called “government”.

Why another layer of abstraction?

Why must they run on grandpa’s fiscal beliefs, and previously brokered debt servicing and network effects?
