I never understood how special shares were legal. I mean, I do understand that it's because the ownership class wants it that way, but it's insane.

It's literally letting people have their cake of controlling a company while eating it by selling the company off simultaneously.

Some special shares are cheaper, but you don't get a vote. Those shares are for the sort that just wanna ride the corporate wave without any "guilt".
