The problem lies in massive capital requirements really to start anything. Capitalists have the capital because of course they're keeping it and disapprove of co-ops.

I spent $100 to join that co-op in Erie. Even if the entire population of the Erie metropolitan area joined at that same cost, it would amount to $20 million.

By contrast, Apple's market capitalization now stands at over $3 trillion.

That's not a reasonable comparison for a number of reasons, but still, if I'm counting on fingers right, it's six orders of magnitude different.
