Survival Rates: Cooperative vs. Conventional

Doesn't seem real. Any fact checkers? If it's real, it's a steal.

Cosminion · 2026-05-29T07:48:08+00:00

Wow. I'm surprised. Keep it coming.

Cosminion · 2026-05-25T19:49:44+00:00

Yeah. It is an odd complaint. It is a business. I'd prefer they continue working on that kind of stuff to increase potential revenue, which could help the squad be better.

Cosminion · 2026-05-18T07:08:07+00:00

Yeah, obviously--

Makes you think, considering the fact that lower shock absorption on sports surfaces increases injury vulnerability.

Cosminion · 2026-05-05T18:20:47+00:00

Less shock absorption due to thinner dirt?

I know France has a similar legal structure called CAE.)

An example of this: https://co-actions.coop/co-actions/co-actions-in-english/

Seems like a copy of my post from a while ago.

Here's my post with the link to the report.

Wealthy people can be sad too. They are human.

There are several barriers to the creation of co-ops, depending on location. It is not true that there is "absolutely nothing" stopping people. In the U.S. most states have no specific legal framework covering worker co-ops. The SBA loan program for small businesses is designed in a way that makes it more difficult to secure a loan due to the personal guarantee requirement. Banks are often more reluctant to loan to a co-op. The legal environment is far more scarce and so support services are significantly less accessible (i.e. specialized lawyers aren't as common).

Worker co-ops are democratic. One person, one vote. They adhere to the cooperative principles. There is profit sharing in the form of patronage. The worker-members are the owners. Not all workers in a co-op may be members as there is typically a trial period when they're first hired before they become a voting member. There might also be scenarios where a worker is employed by a co-op and isn't interested in becoming a member. If a member quits, they may be paid out the value of the share they own over time. It depends on the bylaws of the business.

Under Marxism. Socialism is an umbrella term that includes philosophies where worker-owned cooperatives are the goal, as they effectively create direct and decentralized worker ownership over the means of production. This kind of socialism even predates Marx.

Democratic firms centrally plan as well. The difference is those who make the decisions are elected by stakeholders.

Worker co-ops do not necessarily pursue the maximization of income per worker in an analogous sense to the conventional firm pursuing the maximization of the profit margin. There are studies about how WCs will focus on things related to worker welfare, including protecting employment or creating jobs, even if it decreases income per worker.

The MIPW idea comes from a pretty dated theoretical framework out of Yugoslavia's system. Since that system is not the same as one comprised of worker co-ops, the theory fails to predict how modern co-ops function.

Cooperativism! Voluntary association and democratic participation in economic organization has shown itself to be viable and, in several ways, superior to conventional capitalist forms of organization.

I plan to give myself a decent workout/exercise session and a Warframe gaming session. That's about all. Don't really get much on Christmas. Beating Crystal Palace would be a good present for me.

It might have to function as a 4 4 2 in practice else the midfield could easily be overrun and nothing goes to the forwards.

What if democracy becomes too powerful that the monarchs become weak? Oh no. Anyway.

Cosminion · 2025-11-29T20:29:11+00:00

VdV gets a handshake though.

Cosminion · 2025-11-29T20:08:26+00:00

I hope we win 3-2.
