  1. Really nationalise it, not just "lip service nationalization" (replacing executives). Make it a public consumer co-op. Investors can still invest, but could only purchase non-voting preferred stock. Every citizen would get 1 voting share each. Every year, citizens could vote on policies and board of directors, this way the govt cronies cant install their own political hacks. Make requirement of the board to be actual people who have worked there (majority). For other companies, give them a choice upon reaching 5% market share in their industry: break up (anti-trust) or be nationalized. And give them a time limit of 5 days to decide. No expropriation as the govt would buy in the latter case, but any profits would be returned to the citizens in dividends.

  5. Stock buyback sounds similar to how the central bank buys/sells bonds to adjust the money supply.

  6. just like how a company performs stock buybacks to adjust its capital structure and return value to shareholders, the central bank buys or sells bonds to influence the money supply and interest rates in the economy. Here are some more similarities between stock buybacks and central bank actions: Stock Buyback by Company: Companies repurchase their own shares from the open market to reduce the number of outstanding shares. This can boost the company's stock price by increasing earnings per share and signaling confidence to investors. Central Bank's Bond Buying/Selling: Central banks buy government bonds to inject money into the economy, increasing the money supply. Conversely, central banks sell bonds to reduce the money supply and control inflation. Impact on Share Prices and Interest Rates: Stock buybacks can lead to an increase in share prices due to reduced supply and increased earnings per share. Similarly, central bank bond buying can lower interest rates, stimulating borrowing and economic activity. Objectives: Companies conduct stock buybacks to optimize their capital structure and enhance shareholder value. Central banks adjust the money supply through bond buying/selling to achieve economic goals like price stability and full employment.
