We should make it a requirement for a majority shareholder to work the lowest tier positions of a company for five years before they can sell shares.

Honestly, I think trying to disable public stock trading altogether is the real solution. You can have a healthy, profitable company without constant growth, but shareholders want growth even if that means the health and profitability of the company suffers as a result
