Very cool to hear, dude will likely be better off than me. Employee owned corporations are good.
- astrange 2y agoUnclear why hearing that someone else is richer than you is supposed to be cool, regardless of if they're capitalist coded or cashier coded.
- anthonymartinez 2y agoi dunno why you wouldn't want to celebrate the success of others, especially when they're essential workers!
- astrange 2y agoI don't think this situation is the same thing as celebrating the success of others! Of course in my neck of the woods (Silicon Valley) it's expected that all 50 year olds are multi millionaires, as all you need for that is have owned a house for a few decades.
- anigbrowl 2y agoBecause it suggests non-capitalist business models can be more successful than generally imagined.
- astrange 2y agoI think this is already well known due to the existence of landlords, who are pre-capitalist. Although most people don't think of farmers or California retirees as belonging to this class, which they probably should.
- getwiththeprog 2y agoCo-ops are a capitalist business model.
