gollark: Companies don't really do accounting, or much internal division of labour or anything. Generally, they're just one person or maybe a smaller team sharing resources a bit.
gollark: Yes, I am sure you're thinking "but but but my company has a giant HQ and shiny adverts!" It's not really a company.
gollark: Stock exchanges allow you to trade shares in companies and get dividends. But we don't actually have companies.
gollark: Okay, so. Stock exchanges don't really work. There have been many attempts and they never ended up going anywhere, although this was possibly just due to people not finishing the code or something. It's just that the kristconomy™ is not structured for it.
gollark: Should I deploy my usual "stock exchanges don't really work" explanation?
