Overhead is the same (maybe less if management is smaller and cheaper) but dividends go to workers instead of shareholders.

Downside is that raising capital to grow the business is much harder and it's much harder to take risks because the effects are not diversified.

The word "Atrophied" seems very out of place.

I don't think you'll make a profit, but maybe you'll make some friends.

Does buying the book give you license to digitise it?

Does owning a digital copy of the book give you license to convert it into another format and copy it into a database?

Definitions of "Ownership" can be very different.

some dude out of Silicon Valley hears about this, and hacks up a system that just uses a $30 webcam, an AI model that detects fingers (trained exclusively on pudgy white fingers of Silicon Valley executives)

Private banks should mean they can fail without the government stepping in.

Beyond the services of a basic checking account and ability to send money, banking should be private.

The US army is much larger and better equipped than the Canadian army.

What % of the US army would be happy to obey an order to invade Canada. At what level if seniority? What justification could be given to sure up the troops?
