So you might say corporations 'regulate' themselves through government
processes which they write or modify for their own purposes.

But these kind of 'regulations' do not achieve what we, the people, really
want because of a much more fundamental problem with those bodies.


Corporations, in their current form, cannot do the "right thing" because
they/we erroneously believe Profit to be the goal of production while
somehow misplacing Product itself as the real end.

This is caused by our choosing investors who expect to be paid Profit.

This can be solved by choosing investors who expect to be paid Product.

But the only investors able to accept Product as a return are the
future Users of that Product.

So we must organize Users to co-buy and co-own the Sources of
Production for the purpose of receiving at-cost use-value.

Corporations organized in this way will have no reason to work
against we, the people, except when selling some of that Product
to non-owners.

For that we must write a Terms-of-Operation as a form of self-regulation
to impose the constraint "Profit is Payer Investment" so that all Users
incrementaly gain ownership in the Sources of the Products they need.
