    It’s nonsense, I promise you his parents make more profit than any of the employees

    Total garbage, unless they’re all making the same wage I don’t wanna hear it

    They also still control the employees

    But no one said anyone in those types of business make the same money? They all just own equal say?

    how wonderful, they all get to vote on the color of the table cloths
    then they vote on flooring
    so basically the business has no singular perspective allowing for it to grow

    very nice

    What research or papers that have some example of a business model that would work without exploitation?

    The problem of small business is that a lot of roles and jobs are crunched into so many positions while trying to make money to pay the workers and above shutting down.

    worker co-ops
    and before you ask they can operate large scale too

    around since the 80s, does approx $80 millions in sales equalexchange.coop

    around since the 50s, 80,000 worker-owners and like $16 billion yearly revenue mondragon-corporation.com/en/about-us

    Synopsis is not wrong. I worked at a small business for 9 years and they exploit their workers worse than larger businesses.

    ye big businesses gotta deal with bad publicity and labor unions. Smaller ones kinda get to curve that because they sell that family narrative that we are all in this together

    there are heaps and you just don't know it

    ocean spray, the cranberry juice ppl are an agricultural cooperative
    when you go to the uk one of the largest grocery retail chains is also a co-op (literally called the co-operative)

    like just cause you don't know it doesn't mean they exist

    plus they do have an incentive, the profits actually go back to the workers. that's literally their whole thing

    Ive looked into this since @ARCADE_GOON encouraged me too and I don’t know how much validity those that run on large scale have for the arguments here

    They often still raise capital from shareholders and are therefore beholden to the shareholders theory

    If you ever ran a small business then you'd understand. This is like when guys who don't get p**** ask why get married or even have sex/relationships with women when divorce and breakup rates are sky high.

    There are more layers to what you're aware of. You don't know what it's like to scale a business. You've never experienced a "slow business" day. You've never been screwed over an opportunity that impacts you and your employees pockets.

    Ofc I also have to remind myself you're a mediocre celtic fan who only one Lucky ring in the past 30+ years. Trash ass average ran business and team.

    Why don't you approach the celtics with your ideals and watch former Ainge and now "Coach Braddd" slam that door on your commie ass lol

    Hey look at your last Finals appearance.

    You're a weirdo please seek help

    You didn't read what he wrote did you? Or what I have written in this thread. I don't care if it's communist rhetoric or not. What's right is right.
