    Or they don’t realize the workers can do this now.

    Nothing stops them from starting their own company or buying their employer.

    Yet, crickets…. They never do.

      Exactly. They cannot articulate what they mean in detail. Sometimes they want to get rid of all property rights. The implementation plan is totally lacking in feasibility or rationality.

        They have this nebulous idea that profits are evil and shareholders are bad. They ignore that a shareholder is someone who invested in the company to make those jobs.

        So, without shareholders, they would have no jobs. If people can’t benefit from investing and taking a risk. They just won’t invest.

        Why would I want to invest in a company where I would never get my equity back or grow my money? That means i am taking all the risks with zero reward.

        As I get older, I am getting more fascinated by co- ops.

        Many fairly large companies are really co-ops.

        Land of Lakes, previously Farmland foods.

        Since they seem to think companies have no risk and just make money, they should be willing to pony up the cash to make it happen.
