Once in a while they manage to get it right, like back in the 70's when a couple smart-ass lawyers tried to argue that longevity should factor in to who gets how much dividend. It failed in court as unconstitutional- all citizens are equal shareholders.
Most of the time they get it wrong, like when they build multi-million dollar schools in all the remote villages with 2 digit populations, or subsidize a losing scheme to sell barley to the world, or investing in a failed airline (Markair), or investing in a mothballed "clean coal" plant, or failed lumber mills, or failed shipping ports, etc, etc.

You seem to be the one who's confused. What you have is collective ownership, not private ownership.
