They haven’t actually tried it. The last time it was yanked from being voted on because politicians make promises to get elected and are then told by their donors not to dip into their profit pools.

It actually works well which is why it won’t be made available to everyone. Stock prices and profit margins would drop too much.

A CEO of such a company might actually capture some of that inefficiency.
