> Sorry, kids, but investors get stock.
Ironic phrasing, considering that we parents invest insane amounts of time and money into kids. And no, we don't get stock. Not even a percentage of future earnings.
Yet we keep investing more and more anyway. Not all returns are financial.

Yes, not all returns are financial. But companies exploiting others' generosity to get rich is a cuckoo's-egg strategy.
