Fair point, well made. I would love to live in a world like this one day

If I ever start a corporation and if for some reason it isn't a workers co-op, I will make the employees unionize. I see little reason other than absolute profit maximization to not treat your employees as a great asset, assuming they're doing reasonably well. But I'm a dirty socialist so..

Dirty? Nah, you're fresh as hell, comrade. Workers co-ops are great

I guess I have my own special version of pessimism where if I see an employer not actively hiring Pinkertons I think if it add a little w for workers these days
