So you tried but couldn't find them, because you're wrong. Gotcha.

A neckbeard "fact checking" me and saying "no you're wrong, 2+2 = 5!" and then patting himself on his back and saying how he "wiped the floor with me" is nothing to worry about. I will enjoy knowing that you're fuming behind your keyboard every time I post and don't see your reply :)

No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them.

No, they don't - not when it's illegal, and especially not when it's something like this. You guys always love to bang on about the whole January 6 thing where Trump supposedly ordered all sorts of things of the ballot counters etc - and they didn't do it, did they? People say no to their bosses all the time.

because the government would have to grant that access, and you’re not a person as far as they’re concerned in this scenario.

So the DOJ/FBI/CIA/etc never investigate anything internal? I'm not talking about me specifically lol.

No, it’s happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you’re up to speed.

Wait so this National Citizenship Database already exists and is already being corrupted with legitimate citizens being deleted from it because they're not registered Republicans?! Where can I read more about this? How was it exposed? You just finished telling me that there would be no way to know, didn't you? So how do you know?

Of all the things you could’ve said, that’s what you chose to comment on?

Yes, I chose to comment on that because it shows you're arguing based on incorrect ideas.

And less commonly, it’s used in the general sense to make a generic choice

No it's not. You thought it was, but it's not. I'm talking about political elections, you're talking about voting to choose between options. Electing to choose something over another thing doesn't mean you held an election lol

Words have meanings, and you clearly don't know what the words you're using mean.

Can you show me the communist countries, of any approach, where they are flourishing with no poor people, everyone is financially well off, wealth is equally distributed, and there is no ruling class and no impoverished underclass?

effectively regressing right back to authoritarianism

Because that's what communism always becomes, by design.

So every business is a co-op, but only one person takes out the loan to start the business? So only 1 person is on the hook if it fails, but everyone benefits if it succeeds?

It would go to the employees. There would be no profit in the typical sense of revenue - costs - payroll, any excess after costs just goes to payroll

But this is the same as all of the employees having stock in the business. It means if the business turns into the next amazon, all these employees will be - get this - billionaires! Isn't that precisely what OP is saying they don't want?

Your average restauranter is not doing it for the money, if they are they’re delusional.

They absolutely are, because they want the restaurant to provide for them. They don't open a restaurant with the dream of working another full time job as well as running the restaurant so they can pay their bills.

The reason people start businesses is so they can be their own boss and be financially independent. It is always about money, unless they already don't need the money.

Marx himself praised the dynamism and creativity of capitalism but didn’t think it was worth it for the working class who could get far more of the pie if they weren’t giving a cut to the owners.

Cool, now show me the communist countries where everyone is equally wealthy and there is no poor underclass and no super rich upper class rulers.

As for the risk, most of the financial risk of owning a business is shed when you create an LLC.

It absolutely is not lol.

by a social safety net that allows people to pursue these enterprises without worrying how they’re gonna eat or pay rent.

Ok so now you're talking about a UBI, correct? That's fine, I think a UBI absolutely needs to be trialled and explored - but that's got nothing to do with the absurd notion of getting rid of stocks. Even with a UBI, loans from failed business startups would bankrupt you and make you lose everything.
