There should be a movie for him. Very inspiring priest.

[@asdfasdf3989]

The media wouldn't want to do that. 😉

[@internalrefraction]

this is incredible thank you!

[@vivalaleta]

Widely held worker ownership of their own work is the only way to maintain democracy after it's secured.

[@nunofh]

The link for the full episode doesn't work? Is it available?

[@codybonus230]

So Everyone Makes $250,000 a year Asking for Freemarket America. Whats the tax rate? Thanks I could make that on my own as a poor chap by reading a few books here in America. Whats the benifits?

[@AndyMorrisArt]

No one is forced into worker owned cooperatives, you're free to live as you desire. If you prefer not owning your own business then that's ok ... it's your choice. Or if you want to be a Worker Owned business of one that too is your choice. If you want to hire others and pay them less than the profit they deliver, again your choice. There's no one making folks join these worker owned coops, it completely voluntary ... do as you please.

[@vivalaleta]

I'd like to live in a country where worker ownership is mandated. You don't want a company like that? Work for your damn self.

@@vivalaleta Nah better that it's voluntary. Consent and free will is what makes liberal democracy a liberal democracy. Having options is better.

[@vivalaleta]

@@jfrd-pw4hk Nope. No bosses allowed. You can have a position as boss as long as it's up to a vote every few years.
