One of the flaws of free markets is the other side of the coin to one of it's strengths.

Free markets adapt to environment changes extremely quickly. 10 million investors making independent choices based on observations right in front of them.

The down side is a coordinated actor can make long term decisions that the 10 million can't see or even if they see it, can't coordinate. So China can be investing for the 50 to 100 year time frame, while individuals in the US have to be looking at their 401k retirement and a more short term strategy. A State actor can plan and invest in strategies that span past a single human lifetime.

Agile_a: TNGA has a market cap of only $2billion...

$400 million divided by 700,000 is a bit under $600 donation per person.

But, in fund raising, 80% of funds raised come from 20% of the donors.

So, that would be $2300 per person average from the top 20% donors And $143 per person average from the other 80%.

Could almost crowd source this.

Don't need all 2 billion to get majority. Just need enough to make some changes.
