    This wouid be my… Hmm… Third… I think…?.. Once in a lifetime historical market crash. The 2008 one stole my teenage years.

    You know, guys, I’m starting to get this strange feeling that our economic model doesn’t really work.

      The model everyone should want is unionized-cooperatives for every existing and new company

      Sharing all the profits in the company for all companies

      Also, for those companies to stay private and not go on stock market if they want to stay sustainable, & grow well

      That’s the biggest thing that would change alot of stuff

        I certainly want it. As a matter of fact, as of yesterday, I’m now a co-representative of my workplace’s union club. I wholeheartedly stand for unionised cooperatives.

          Good on you!!! Hope you can inform more people about them too so they can make their own unionized-cooperarite in their own company, or a new company

            That’s part of the job. Though here in Denmark we have very strong union laws to begin with. However, my particular job has a lot of foreigners in it, from places like Bangladesh (a country with very poor worker’s rights), so informing them about the strength of unity and solidarity has been very productive.

      Unfortunately, it seems we’re reaping what we sow by switching from Keynesian to Neoliberal economics. It was going ok when the demand side had money to spend. We’ve had several decades of paying for that now.
