@jeffthecoder what are you talking about? The only thing I see in common with the first listing is that they are all white women. The second listing of purported wage/labor slaves are just like the first group, actively involved in setting the direction of the cooperative for the betterment of the community at large. I think large cooperatives have the potential to become overly bureaucratic, but I think that can also be avoided with proper planning.

Could you be emotionally detached at work and not know it? Sure, if you’re detached. There’s a party in your head and you’re not invited. slapCompany

I like the underlying concept, but, what's the difference then who we already have doing these things? Where is this "change"? What "revolution"?

Who were the football fans? Why not featured? Surely, in turning their backson the multi-millionaires & 'starting' again this is a Better Way for football? Info please. Or even their own ad? On Granada at halftime in a Manchester football match immediately before 2nd half starts?
