      Sorry, didn’t mean to word it as support. Just wording it as the reality of what they think.

      Shareholders provide economic value (it’s literally in the name) and are not rent-seeking by definition

          Shareholders are key investors and are the principal drivers of M&A and infrastructure investment.

          Disagreeing with the idea that companies exist to drive shareholder returns does not change the actual purpose of shareholders, nor suddenly cause them to be rent-seekers.
