Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Corporations should only be allowed to exist as long as they’re doing more good for society than the damage they do. Businesses should either be a net positive or run by people who are individually and jointly liable.

        Sadly, yes. Probably not here but on the global scale… Because a lot of people see themselves as a future billionaire and they don’t want to ruin for their future self.

      How exactly would you define such a law? “Doing good” is extremely subjective.

      Isn’t that what profit is?

        Most company lawyers are only here to fight other company lawyers. Huge expensives company that do not profit anything to society.

        Most of the trading and investment world makes money for barely anything useful for society.

        Lobbying in a net negative for society financially and politically.

        Basically most corporate jobs are useless, they do not produce anything valuable for society despite bringing profit for their employee and owners.
