Reply to comment by carloselunicornio in Historic first launch of Chinese private methane-fueled rocket ends in failure by returnofjuju

>The initial commenter was obviosly hinting at communal ownership/worker collective type of ownership when he said "people at large"

And my point is how are the "people at large" ownership type companies functionally different from publicly traded companies?

Like, I don't know what to tell you; you're the one delving into irrelevant "gotchas"...

>It is cool indeed but I didn't say that.

I never said you did; I drew a logical inference from the assertion in your challenge.

You can't see the difference between a workers colective and a joint stock company?

Yeah, sure...

Yes, it is... Anyone can be a shareholder. That's the whole point...

Being able to put a name to your behavior isn't an insult.

Anyone can, but are most people shareholders? You know, the public at large? That is the point.
