if the instances stopping some from buying everything up can be bypassed by just having more money then they’re pointless. maybe one guy can’t have so much property, but what about a firm? and then a second firm, so many companies that own so much all owned by one person

I was about to say. When was that ever used?

It has taken a while, but now regulating bodies are actually looking at who is the ultimate beneficial owner of a company and they will try and stop overtakes. Well, not in corrupt countries, but it is so hard to get anything properly done in a corrupt country that it doesn’t surprise me.

is there a non-corrupt country out there?
Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 8 months ago
There is a difference between a country being corrupt and a country having corruption or a lot of people in a country paying for corruption (in other countries). You can check the corruption index if you want.

Oh yeah, and also had a military strong enough to make it too risky to send in the private armies that companies used to have
