    Being a shareholder means having partial ownership of the company, so company owners telling the company what they can’t do sees pretty free-markety to me. Just weird seeing a republican government using their shares as leverage to control companies, but given republicans really never cared about free markets, its not that surprising.

      Yeah I should have worded it a little differently. The government being able to buy shares and use them as leverage for political reasons is still not great though.
