Influence
In Netflix's comedy special Jerry Before Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld shows his personal collection of standup albums which include Nichols and May's Improvisations to Music
gollark: There are *shops* (and groups of shops) which do, but they're not organized like companies.
gollark: They just jump straight to "stock exchanges are cool real life things, how do I make one". And ignore the older, duller, but still important stuff.
gollark: For example, if you buy stock in "GTech Stores", you'd expect to get dividends if I sell anything. But nobody has actually designed a mechanism for company krist accounts, paying dividends automatically, calculating profit, accounting and all that.
gollark: I think a key issue is that there's not really any mechanism for accounting and paying out profit.
gollark: <@356209633313947648> Stock exchanges have been, well, started on before, never really finished.
