A community dedicated to financial and consumer decisions that will actually impact the capitalist market most of the world is forced to endure.

Primarily for suggestions of coöperative (worker or consumer owned) businesses/services and open-source software/applications (as, when anyone can see the code, anyone can own it).

Rules:

Don't be a dick.

The usual rules apply; no

transphobia
racism
ablism
sexism
homophobia
xenophobia
clasism

Don't suggest non-coöp. businesses

If there aren’t any businesses that fill a particular market or need, self-employed creators or traditional business that have a majority of workers belonging to a strong union are acceptable but the goal, here, is to create a real, viable alternative in the market that is accountable to the average person and has incentive to actually serve their community.

Provide more than just a name.

All suggestions must have a link to the website of the suggestion, if available; if not, phone numbers, a scan of a brochure of theirs, or something must be provided so members of this sub. can meaningfully do something with your information.

If the suggestion only serves a particular location, specify that location or region.

Include any other useful information such as accessibility concerns (does the suggestion only have a physical presence/location (is that location wheelchair accessible, if you know)? Does the suggestion deliver? Can you order online or must you call on the phone to place a delivery?).
