Always good to be contacted by a former colleague about a job. It's the best way to explore a new opportunity, because you know someone you used to work with is still interested in working with you. It also gives you a chance to find out what kind of situation you're getting into that is much more informative than an interview.

Is there anything preventing a group of people to set up an Ace Hardware store as a worker or a consumer cooperative?
ACE is a very cool franchise - it's a purchasing cooperative democratically owned by people who have set up an ACE Hardware store.

If the USA ever passes socialized medical before I turn 65, I'm going to retire to freelance work only. I wonder how many others would make the same jump?

When we hear ghoul sellouts like Howard Dean pushing the racist, genocidal lie that "patents don't matter" because poor brown people can't make vaccines, we're hearing Gates's talking points:

Gates's role in vaccine apartheid is laid out in exquisite detail in Natalie Sure's outstanding New Republic feature, which delves into Gates's longstanding project to sideline democratic governments and cooperation in favor of monopoly tyranny.

In Korea, there is a degree where you have to start an economically viable cooperative to graduate.
A lot of super cool stuff going on in Korea. The country might take the global cooperative movement to a whole new level!

Think of all the local councils in the world, imagine if they all used something like LibreOffice. Some of their IT budget (i.e. public money) would go on using and improving libre software. Maybe they could work with local tech coops to work on the codebase. Money gets invested locally, code improvements can be used globally.
That amount of distributed labour, the libre offerings would easily surpass the proprietary offerings.

I can't imagine being simple minded enough to be religious. How can you not question everything all of the time? How can you submit so easily to authority? Religious people seem incapable of reason, and therefore are hard to trust.
