@FallenFadedLostItAll@freak.university spreading of wealth doesn't really solve a lot of issues in our market, as they tend to boil down to price gouging and overall exploitation of selling subpar products to consumers over everything. Not to mention all you're doing with a worker co-op is essentially taking Jeff Bezos and splitting his wealth onto thousands of people just for working at his shit. I do believe the government should crack down on mega corporations like Amazon and force them to be smaller but worker's co-ops don't even address that, they are literally just good for spreading wealth which is cool but mandatory spreading of wealth wouldn't help the oligarchal mess of the free market as much as say, getting rid of IP. It simply includes more people that can enjoy luxury simply for working.

Compare that to say, the government forcing Netflix and essentilly every shitshow streaming company to offer their services across platforms (no platform exclusives). Not only would this bring down the cost of entertainment down substantially, which literally benefits everyone, but it also forces those streaming platforms to rely more and more on improving their actual services unique to them since they can't rely on platform exclusives. The corpos would actually have to work on making their platforms specifically good platforms, as the shows they can access are shared by all platforms now, people don't have to grab multiple streaming accounts to watch their shows which makes it easier for lower class people to enjoy their content and overall it benefits more people just logically. And thats all possible if the government simply looked at how platform exclusives harm domestic consumers and said "Hey thats not really fair". Imagine if we took that logic to patent abuse with the Insulin industry. I rest my point, we have more to benefit from focusing on consumer rights than simply worker's rights
