Nature does not allow for solving anything “indefinitely”.

Restricting owners from being able to sell is an idea, although not sure it has enough merit, since society can benefit from businesses being able to be acquired. Perhaps the pendulum has tilted too far, or technology makes economies of scale too good to compete against.
