@ntnsndr Nope, it's just an idea I have. I see the potential for platform and/or second-tier co-ops to alleviate some of the precarity and uncertainty that co-ops face face everywhere, but most conspicuously in Argentina.

@ntnsndr This is roughly analogous to the indivisible fund going to another co-op upon voluntary dissolution.

@ntnsndr It would require an odd form of secondary incorporation that was still very respectful of autonomy and independence. As in, the second-tier co-op would own a small piece of the first-tier co-op, but in the event of involuntary suspension or dissolution, the second-tier co-op automatically becomes the full owner, as a holding company, until such time as the workers can reestablish themselves. Or maybe just the assets, not the legal entity.

@ntnsndr Yes. I'm trying to imagine a form of federation that would protect them against suspension.

@ntnsndr , are you following Milei's misadventures in Argentina?

@thomasfuchs Dude. You need to be more specific.
That describes dozens, if not hundreds, of situations.

@selzero It's been my experience that people who excuse their rudeness by saying, "I'm just telling it like it is" are highly selective about when they chose to tell it like it is. And that's not telling it like it is.

@ntnsndr Don't forget forming worker co-ops, either from scratch or by converting an exiting business. Worker-owners are labor.

@clacke @shauna I'd like to jump onto this pandoc bandwagon, except I do my writing and editing in vim. This seems strange to many people, writing prose in vim, but it works fine for me.

Watching
@adamconover interview @pluralistic, and I almost spit out my drink laughing at Cory's explanations. What's great is that he doesn't just explain the problem, he goes on to offer solutions.
