My alternative? Nationalize the company and implement a workplace democracy to replace the executive team + board.

I trust the workers more to dictate the direction of a company than most executives.

They can't do worse.

edit: or what another commentator said, fucking academia. Public universities have done more for humanity than nearly anything to come out of SV. Surveillance capitalism, mass misery + psychosis; it's very telling what our society values when mass amounts of the Earth are desperately trying to ban these very same services to protect children.
