Owning public stock is legally indistinguishable from directly owning a joint business venture.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plenty of things are legally indistinguishable but real world applications are often quite different.

Though I would also challage that claim since owning a joint business gives you legal deciding power while owning 1 stock does not, you get zero votes from that.

It depends on the percent of the company you own.

Gee, who decided what is legally equivalent? Certainly not the people with wealth to buy politicians and judges.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.
