Can you add a poison pill to a company where a select group of people can decide you broke one of your founding principles and hand the company over to someone else? No VC startup would do that but if possible would allow trust.

There is protection for minority shareholders. I'm not sure the extent but majority owners/majority voters can't loot the company.

Can you explain why it isn't? I'm probably misunderstanding something. setText doesn't change because it's from useState. The only reason to update the Dom is because the onclick function isn't memoized. Updating th

Do you have an example city? I'm curious because when there is lots of supply to meet demand why would prices go up?
