I admire Zuck wanting to do good for the world, and wanting to sell his FB shares in order to help others, but this still seems like a bad precedent for the financial markets in general. The shareholders are the owners of the company, and the percentage shares they own should represent the percentage influence they should have in the company. It&#x27;s easy to dismiss &quot;shareholders&quot; as being wealthy capitalists, but in reality, the majority of shares are owned by the middle class, either directly, or indirectly through pension plans and such. The idea that a &quot;ruling elite&quot; can overrule the wishes of company&#x27;s majority owners, and use the company&#x27;s resources in any way they want, is conceptually very disturbing. In the long run, it&#x27;s bound to lead to corruption, nepotism, and abuse of power.
