I like the idea of using tax money to create a series of corporations that run strategic industries like power, water, transportation, and critical industry.

Every citizen gets 1 share. Shares are not transferable. The corporations are run democratically by shareholder vote, and profit share is paid out. UBI.

It works within the current legal frameworks, no one is the loser because we aren't taking from one to give to the other, everyone has an interest in the success of the companies, and the company is not weaponise for political purposes or mismanaged to justify selling to the private sector.

Actually directly owning the means of production.
