    It’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.

        It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.

          Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?

              “customers” meaning the communities?

                Where else do you imagine dividends come from?
