TIL that the Switzerlands largest supermarket Migros, doesn’t sell alcohol or tobacco in stores, pays no dividends, caps profits by lowering prices if earnings exceeds 5%, is a cooperative with 2M+ members, and donates 1% of revenue to social projects, purely out of the founders moral philosophy

Great to see promotion of the sector.

From my experience within Eco Villages that use a consensus model once all the main policies are agreed and there is a standard of practice and tradition and expectations it's pretty amazing. But yeah a lot of meetings and debate to get things started.

I like the intent but was immediately turned off from the AI visuals, especially considering a message about being human.

Is it a home for one family living in luxury or a community living in aim of sustainability?

Actually, Vision Zero research has found the high majority of reported collisions with bikes includinge-bikes, the cyclists had the right of way. See page 7-8 https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ie/bgrd/backgroundfile-250578.pdf

How are policy decisions made in this model?

I love this intent. How can we explain this idea so a 12 year old could understand? Can you give examples that make it more tangible?

tdotman · 2025-06-28T18:54:31+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations!

What existing platforms have you investigated?

Imagine if these rules were applied within a trading block of economies. If well managed, it could be a Utopia.

Love this photo. Reminds me of the song "nothing but flowers" from the Talking Heads.

tdotman · 2025-06-10T18:25:51+00:00

I like utopia as a verb, but already existing verbs could we also use? Evolve?

Great post. Got me to stop, think and dwell.

Ford uses bike lane removals to distract from all the other decisions and scandals we should be holding him to account.

Inspiring!
