If Apple Were a Worker Cooperative, Each Employee Would Earn at Least $403K

  Or, more likely, they'd be out of business a long time ago. Can anyone imagine Steve Jobs trying to run a coop?

    Yeah I don't like this kind of thinking, where people just change one variable and act like it has no effect on anything else. If humans had wings, we could get to work more quickly! (Never mind the fact that you wouldn't be able to work a computer keyboard or mouse).

    It wouldn't work. Foxconn produces 500k iPhones every day. They have a million employees and pay them $2/hr. That's only half of Apple's revenue. Given that Jobs wouldn't even give his own engineers stock in the company they built, a co-op is something out of a fairy tale.

  Noooo, that’s not a fair idea; them CxOs needs at least 3 million dollars per year plus multi-millions of stock ootions just in order to guide the company.
