I have heard that if a company wants to go public go bankrupt or change ownership that they would have to have the workers sign off on it or allow them to buy the company with a low interest rate and capital supplied by their federal reserve. That sounded like something that would help transfer power from the rich to the workers and help income inequality.

But I also hear the inconsistencies from Labour on Brexit. I just want to hold out hope for you guys to figure it out.
