I also don’t think this will ever happen in this way
Isn’t it already happening, though? Maybe not for necessities, at least not yet; but if you’re researching travel, the common wisdom is to research through private browsers to be sure that they can’t jack up the price on you to create an artificial incentive to buy before the price goes up again. If you are booking certain things like rental cars, booking through a VPN based in a country with a favorable exchange rate or lower number of tourists can sometimes get you a preferential rate. If capitalists are willing to deploy that sort of thing online, you can bet they’re hoping for the ability to do so in real life.
I’m all for mandating every company be a cooperatively owned, worker owned company. I’d vote for that TODAY.
Same. Even if we mandated that all companies’ voting shares include 50% plus one vote shares controlled by employees, it would be a huge step in the right direction.
