What a con it is, that everyday people have become convinced that the bound purpose of a company is to direct cash to its investors however it can.
People realized this was shitty when the colonial exploitation companies did it, when the robber barons did it, when the banks did it (1920s), and when the banks did it again in the 1980s, kind of; when financial markets did it in the 2000s, faintly; when banks did it again in 2008 to 2011, in vain, and when companies milk "inflation" now, nothing.
