Your comment about the paperhands (stonks) reminds be of the robber barons of the guilded age (think Carnegie) having a bunch of museums and the like built and then bequeathing them to the state; the governments would then propogandize for the robber barrons. "See!" the state says. "Without the robber barons, we would have no museums to walk through!"

When the stonk holders promise to give to charity ... idk. Is that not at least similar? Since (at least in the USA with corporate personhood and the actual legal obligation these public-corporate-persons have to make all decisions profit the shareholders) ... there's no way to participate without greasing the wheels of ... slaughter and destruction. Capitalism is all about infinate growth on a planet of finite resources. The eye is on the sky now, someplace new to colonize. I'm rambling. This is far from news to many hear.

Your concern about prisoner funding stumped me. I guess one must send funds directly? I've only used ABC websites and that was to get addresses. Maybe if an ABC treasurer could lend us their time ... idk. I guess it's a "trust fall" (corporate-culture joke).
