...so it's not for communities, it's for communities...?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not for the communities, it's for the shareholders-to-come.

Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.
