Unpopular opinion: I know there would be other problems to solve if things were different, but I wish there was no such thing as private companies. As it is, private companies are an investment vehicle that regular people just don't have access to. It's a game of who knows who with very little regulatory oversight. Maybe early stage startups don't need a ton of regulatory oversight (they have other things to worry about), but maybe it also shouldn't be legal to have a private company with a market cap over a billion dollars.
