Mortmain is another argument against the whole idea of property. From Wiki, "Mortmain is the perpetual, inalienable ownership of real estate by a corporation or legal institution; the term is usually used in the context of its prohibition. Historically, the land owner usually would be the religious office of a church; today, insofar as mortmain prohibitions against perpetual ownership still exist, it refers most often to modern companies and charitable trusts."So the people who first stole it have it in perpetuity.
Interesting ending.

I suspect that their beautiful friendship might have come to an end.
I love when a plot turns against the plotter.

🤔 Sounds like an argument against perpetual incorporation as well. Thanks for providing a definition and insight. 👍
