Even when I was living in a very liberal area, there were only a small handful of stores that advertised as worker co-ops. It’s funny too because those co-op stores were all incredibly popular and successful, so I don’t understand why they are so comparatively rare? The organizational structure seems simple to maintain, and has a high incentive for regular workers to go above and beyond since they directly benefit from the business being successful, so what’s the deal? I am speaking from a US centric view, so maybe things are different in Europe, but even with my limited knowledge I feel like they are relatively unpopular there too, but maybe not? I dunno.
That’s not the same. Shareholders are not involved in the operation of the business. They simply vote every once in awhile, if they feel like it, for a board of directors. They are not involved in decisionmaking beyond this, nor do they operate a business.
There’s a difference between shilling and being a grown-up that has experience working in the industry.

Yeah, you’re just spraying bs now, unless you want to do some of that education you’re talking about.

No I never said that. I said there are far more people involved at every phase of decisionmaking. That is a different thing from what you are claiming I believe, is it not?
So, what are these shareholder structures you were talking about where large numbers of shareholders are involved in the regular operation of a business?

Whether its my imagination or not, it is different from the bullshit you tried to say I believed, right?
What structures were you speaking of?
