    One of the most successful breweries in America is owned by its employees. New Belgium.

    They did not crumble and fall apart because of “evil socialism”. They flourished because every single worker had a vested interest in making the business grow.

    Executives wonder why their employees are so unmotivated. Give them motivation. Not pizza parties

    Employee ownership would save this nation from its spiral towards indentured servitude. 60% of the population currently lives month to month. You’re telling me every single one of them is lazy? Bullshit.

    The American dream has been stolen from us, it will take it back one way or another.

    You can keep sucking on the nuts of billionaires pretending you will be one of them, I will fight for the working class.

      There’s a huge cleft between “This one specific brewery” and “every company” though. And honestly I’m neither on expert on company law nor on socioeconomics and market economics, so I’m not one to ask. Maybe it’d be better if every company was employee owned. Or maybe not. Or maybe it would change fuck all. I can’t know, not my area of expertise.

      And this would not be the kind of global decision you’d want to make on a gut feeling, tbh.

      With all due respect, one company doesnt proof a thing. Neither do 10 or 100. If it was such a successful business model, there were a lot more.

      In the end, most people want to work 9to5, get their salary and not bother with the company anymore than that. Barely anyone would want to partly “own” the company beyond a stock share maybe.

        Right just how people don’t want to own houses… Consider that you might be out of touch with the average American
