What a joke. People today are lazy morons. Without a boss they would do nothing.

You do realize that co-operatives have bosses too, right? They're just elected by workers instead of investors.

Which means that the bosses can't be tough on the stupid lazy employees under them, which means nothing will get done.

I support coops in principle and have for the last 20 years. But this no longer works in practice now that humanity has degenerated into shit.

Yes they can; the employees electing them have an incentive to keep the business going, or they'll lose their income and be forced to work minimum wage at McDonalds, so a lot of them will end up electing hardliners. Also, investor-based companies tend to cater to a minority of woke employees, who would be mitigated by the silent majority in a worker-based company.
