Milton Friedman's lie that "shareholders are the only stakeholders" - a view untethered to law, economics, or reality - has destroyed countless lives around the world. It's a foundation of today's gross inequality.
Friedman has a lot to answer for, as do his patrons. If he's lucky, his long days in hell, described by Toby as "damnation without relief," will be hearing the names of all those people, over and over again, even as the list grows longer every day..

How is a company buying its own stock not manipulation?
Aside from not investing it in your company or your employees it would seem meddling with supply and demand of the stocks really shouldn't be a thing..
