I can kinda see how one can argue that this is a feature rather than a bug, but I still think this points to the more distinctive feature in these coops being democratic governance of workers rather than ownership. I own shares of past comp

A thing that is kind of glossed over is: what is "ownership" when we talk about worker-owners at cooperatives? > The profits generated by each cooperative are put to work for the benefit of the greater whole. Each cooperative g

I can't tell if this comment is sarcastic or not. Are knives illegal? Is it reasonable for knives to be illegal for someone walking down the street? What kinds of knives are reasonable to be illegal? It sounds like NY state's laws

As someone actually in this space, does the "rental" concept give you any concerns about the quality of research this can support? Like, if the previous customer's use of the organoids will have stateful impacts that impact w

This is unhinged. You think women go to university to date ? In this country with the cost of higher ed? - when women were mostly or entirely excluded for higher ed, they still participated in society and courtship and had "functional

Similarly if you advocate for more women in STEM jobs so straight men in those jobs can date in their workplace more easily ... maybe HR should keep an eye on you and you shouldn't consider yourself to actually be supporting real equal

Yes, a lot of growth and exploration of various kinds happens at college. Diversity in the university is probably good. But, in the context of a society which historically denied women a place in higher education, and an institution which d

Oven-shaped UV sterilizers exist, but I think bc UV really gets stopped at the surface, it would be really ineffective as an oven in the sense of cooking anything?

That was the narrative that was presented. However, though the data made available by the DA's office is limited and flawed, I don't think the story is really borne out. 1 year after the recall, violent crime was up. https:/

I've seen press about police departments making such an argument, and it seems really disingenuous. The implied claim is that if no charge will be pursued by the DA then there's "no outcome" or point in doing any police
