The only acceptable business model is a true cooperative

No owners no bosses no profiting off other people’s labor

Ridiculous. Every business beyond super small consultancies have multiple people with separate roles because there's literally no other way to run an organization. There's always someone who is a "boss" of someone. The guy stocking the shelves isn't the guy in charge of marketing, the guy in marketing isn't the guy who organizes all of the financials, and so on and so forth.

That being said, I'm all for more power to workers so they can have leverage against bad management / bad management practices. Otherwise you end up with situations not unlike the whole Uber strike.

What’s ridiculous is this bull**** hierarchical model we currently are pretending actually works. **** modern day feudalism. It’s time to liberate the masses and respect everyone’s humanity equally.

I’m doing “prep” in a seafood restaurant. There’s nothing on the management side that is out of my reach intellectually. I’ll go toe to toe on an IQ test with any mother****er there. Don’t give me this **** that the dude stocking shelves couldn’t do the marketing. And there shouldn’t even be such a thing as marketing. Just the word is ****ing repulsive.

Never said anything was out of people's reach intellectually. I'm saying the dude stocking shelves is most likely not going to be able to jump into a bunch of workflows and processes that someone who does marketing stuff for a business deals with unless he gets trained or has done that stuff before somewhere else. Maybe he tells the boss at some point "Hey, I can do that **** and drive sales, brand awareness, etc." But you and I both know that kind of thing doesn't happen often, which is why the owner ends up hiring an outside company or a local individual with a track record if they actually spend money on the PR/marketing/whatever side of the business.

we have managers at my job that have to ask the employees the most basic questions about how things operate because they've no idea, they used to manage a Lowe's or something

it's beyond stupid

as there are already functioning worker co-ops that can even compete with corporations, we know the model works, next step is to simply government mandate it

I've got personal anecdotes about people I've met in business too, but they won't convince you that, you know, there are people out there who know what they're doing even if I explained everything in excruciating detail.

What do you think of employee owned companies like WinCo Foods?

You should go apply at some of those employee-owned companies. WinCo is one but even here in Texas there are others. Most of them provide rock solid benefits even to entry level guys who are like 19 years old.

It was a small and literally underground venue and the audience was mostly die-hard fans so the atmosphere was great.
The set was a mixture of older songs and the new album. When they opened with Grembo Zavia I almost came.
Some nice surprises along the way like a fun, little classical medley as the first encore and AH doing an extended solo in the Diamanda Galas/Sainkho Namtchylak vein.
Unnecessary to say that the band was tight af.
Best concert ever.

Reposting it here because I want Mord to know and to be jealous.
