    I am fine with worker co-ops, but state owned firms just suck. I think you are wanting the cuban model which is really really really bad, and there is a reason I knew a guy that floated here on an inner tube to get away from it.

      If you say so chief. Thank you for your valuable contribution.

      Strawmaning much here I see. Putting cuba in it’s context means obviously I want the model apply everywhere, because history taught us that context doesn’t matter obviously.

      I knew a guy that floated here on an inner tube to get away from it.

      What was his family business and his function in the batista regime?

        The cuban model of government owned businesses is what you seem to be wanting, and even vox shows how poorly that works. State owned firms sucking is just a structural problem, if you dont understand why that is then you havent had to work with the government. The guy that floated here was due to wanting freedom and the ability to not be owned by the state.
