No shareholders if you aren't publicly owned. Stakeholders, yeah probably, but no shareholders.
If the timer runs out, the pelican is called automatically. It doesn't matter if you are out of range in this way.
They did have something similar to a draft mode. It's been a while since I played but you would build a deck from a series of options, usually 3 cards or 3 synergized subsets of cards, and this would repeat 15(?) times. Then when the deck is built you queue against other constructed decks.
People would just reset a run if their drafted deck didn't come together.
It's a tax break for corporations, and bulk sales to companies is easier for health care providers than working with individuals. The squeeze comes together after a time.

This is a good book I read not long ago. Improv(e) Your Conversations: Think on Your Feet, Witty .... It's not a long book and an enjoyable read. Each chapter takes a few minutes to read.
My take away from the book is to find what the other parties want to talk about and get them to talk about it. Also that controversial topics generally make conversations more memorable and form more intimate relationships.
What helps me is asking Copilot to try doing it. When it spits out garbage; if it hits any of my targets I can tune it from there.
We are still workshopping the kiss one. That wolf is still working it's way in.
