If your business is critical for modern human living, it should be non-profit. It should be guided by the best management plan of the time, debated and approved by the majority of shareholders. It should open its books and stay open.
Really, it should be government.
My power company is a co-op. They have long term contracts with various providers, so my power bill doesn't fluctuate much on short term news.
At the end of every year, we get a dividend check in the mail for any excess profit.
Pretty sure all utilities should work that way.
“Non profit” “shareholders”. Pick one.
I assume they meant stakeholders...cuz like yo, that's us!
