It's better than not having stock though. Same with having bonuses.

I get what you're saying though and I'm not even gonna disagree. Just that it'd be good for people to have stock in the companies they work for. It definitely is not the same as owning the means of production.

Stock is better than nothing, but the equivalent in cash would be better for sure. They can then invest it how they see fit if so desired and unlike company stock there's no vesting period or restrictions on selling. I'm glad the employees are getting something, I just think it's important to realize that this is better for the company than paying cash bonuses and is not really similar to owning the means of production in any meaningful sense.
