I've heard variations of this story a lot. Common people and workers received a share of the company they work for, but times were so dire most people sold them to those with money for a pittance. So foreseeable, why was it allowed to happen?
- tylersmith 4y agoSome people chose to put their assets to work for later and others to sell their assets for cash right now. Why shouldn't people be allowed to make those decisions?

- Spooky23 4y agoExactly. Ditto for the goons. If your main skill is sociopathic violence and physical strength, why not use those your talents to intimidate and exploit the workers for your boss’s benefit?

- simonh 4y agoDo you really, genuinely believe that these people had credible options, and were not deliberately coerced and engineered into desperate economic conditions in order to squeeze them into selling their shares for a pittance?
