What negatives? Do people turn evil, or do tools stop working, if tools are owned by a collective?

Yes. You see, if most of the profits aren't taken from all the people making them and given to like, just a few people to keep for themselves, we'd have mass hysteria!

I shudder to think of what the workers might get up to if they had more of the money they created, or more of a voice in their workplace. They might start doing dangerous things that benefitted themselves instead of the stonks, and that idea is just disgusting to me
