Law proposal: After a company makes over a 500 million USD in revenue 2 years in a row, the citizens of the country it operates in automatically become the company's shareholders and board members. There could be a more nuanced version of this that gives the public only some percentage - say 50% - of voting power and company's profit so that there is still strong incentive for the existing shareholders to stick around
