Ideally, the U.S. public is supposed to be able to comment on government policy proceedings, and the government is supposed to listen to that input. Of course, it doesn’t really work that way: For years we’ve noted how U.S. regulatory comment proceedings are full of bots and fake comments from industries trying to game regulators, and make shitty policy (giant mergers, mindless deregulation, the elimination of consumer protection)

Gods, I hope all of the “serious people”™️ who fell for the self-mythologizing of a “hyper-competent fascism” grow the fuck up for next time. Pure make-believe as an organizing principle of society.

This, plus put together strong employee shareholder programs + dividend policies.
Employees and executives earn more as FCF increases. Shareholders are aligned. Excess profits distributed to all. A tax event is created, long term holding is encouraged for a lower long term tax rate and compounding.
