The stronger you are, the less afraid you need to be of getting hurt.

The very strongest people are the ones willing to show the most vulnerability.

The ones obsessed with showing how strong and invulnerable they are are actually the weakest and are basically putting on armor to hide it.

The company has it’s value reassessed each year by an accounting firm that specializes in these evaluations. That determines stock price.

You don’t get to take the stock when you go, you get cash value in a retirement account and the company reclaims the stock for future accrual by employees.

I’m so sick of this patronizing head-pat “everything else is just as bad, we tried” response.

The fact of the matter is that the easiest way to do this under our system is making companies employee owned.

I worked for one for several years, and yes it was subject to many of the same administrative issues as every other company, but every single employee earned stock every month that kept increasing in value. A guy who had worked there for about 30 years as a worker -not a manager- was retiring with a stock portfolio worth millions. They also had the normal crappy 401k and social security they could have earned anywhere else, but because it was employee owned, they had all that company stock too.

So we have shown it can work to have the workers own the means of production. Is convenient to present government ownership as the same thing so it can be easily criticized, but it isn’t really.

I believe it has a USB dongle that creates a custom network between the headset and your computer and nothing else, so it isn’t dependant on your other networking hardware or speeds.
