Shareholders aren't the big issue. CEOs paying themselves hundreds of millions of dollars is.

Emphasis added since some seemed to not be reading all the words.

The hell. Shareholders are vampires that suck the profits from a business that should go to employee compensation. All while demanding more.

I wish there were more coops that I could shop at.

Fiduciary duty to shareholders is a gun to civilizations head.
