I would've thought that the difference between "vote" and "vote as a shareholder" would have been obvious enough, but just to make it clear: I don't consider it a good thing if the only people with a say in things are the ones who have money. This is the difference between a democracy and a corporation.

I find it really unsettling how many people on HN seem to need this distinction explained.

Actually if you are a shareholder you DON'T have money...In the sense that you gave it up to have a say in the company.

Similarly you give something up (social contract) to have a say in government

You clearly come from a difference place on this issue so I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying but I'd be pleased if you did.

I doubt Uber is going to hire you if your goal is to change its business policies. Voting as a shareholder is also not the same as voting as a citizen. Everyone has the right to vote as a citizen, only the right h shareholders in Uber have the right to vote as a shareholder.

Additionally, the problems like gerrymandering still appear in different forms in corporate structures. Often times founders have majority control of the company in the form of different shares. While this is good for the founders, this is bad for anyone else who doesn't like the direction of the company.
