Co-op delivery company in the works?!

Great on Tony, doing the damn thing!

https://fitsmallbusiness.com/what-is-a-cooperative-co-op/

A cooperative, or co-op, is an organization owned and controlled by the people who use the products or services the business produces. Cooperatives differ from other forms of businesses because they operate more for the benefit of members, rather than to earn profits for investors.

Co-ops are organized to provide competition, improve bargaining power, reduce costs, expand new and existing market opportunities, improve product or service quality, and obtain unavailable products or services (products or services that profit-driven companies don’t offer because they see them as unprofitable).

Cooperatives present lots of opportunities for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. In this post, I’ll go over how cooperatives work, why you should form one, and how you can start one for your business.

I prefer dots over spaces.

Spaces can mess with stuff, double space…

Nice!

Was not expecting that, hahaha

edit:2 words

Seems like a positive, good on FCC.

Seems to not be a race problem, it is more on working class vs. wealthy class problem.

Wealthier neigborhoods vs. working class neigborhoods.

Interesting news to follow, can’t wait for independent yters and the like to start commenting on this.

Reminds me of tribalism talks.

• Tribal Thinking

  • https://conversational-leadership.net/tribal-thinking/
  • The meaning of the word tribe
  • Sticking to tribal beliefs
  • Politically motivated reasoning
  • 1, Skincare experiment
  • 2. Gun-control Experiment
  • A big surprise
  • Bottom line

    • “This experiment demonstrates that our political pre-dispositions can strongly influence our numerical reasoning regardless of our political persuasion.”

• Tribalism: How to Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem

  • Whether it’s race, religion, or politics, tribalism threatens all we hold dear. [July 31, 2022| John G. Cottone Ph.D. The Cube]

    • https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-cube/202207/tribalism-how-be-part-the-solution-not-the-problem

    • To keep our tribalist impulses in check, I believe we must regularly ask ourselves difficult questions:

      • Do I know how to recognize the propaganda of my own tribe, and resist it when I see it?

      • Do I recognize that every event can be viewed from multiple perspectives and that my tribe’s perspective is just one of many?

      • Do I pursue multiple perspectives on important issues with intellectual honesty — or do I only solicit my own tribe’s political perspective?

      • Do I call out members of my own tribe for bad behavior as often as I call out members of rival tribes — or do I rationalize and ignore their transgressions?

      • Do I have compassion for everyone on the road of truth, even those who are walking today where I walked yesterday?

You dropped the: /s

Ron Swanson has a much better way of phrasing it, hahaha

From Parks and Recreation.

Talking about being a pirate in the high seas.

Torrents and 3rd party sites, and such.

Seems like some people will learn more on how cars work so as to disable the features…

“Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. Automakers are exponentially increasing the number of sensors they place in their cars every year with little regulation of the practice.”

Everything spys on us, not just tiktok. Yes, steps can be taken to lessen the spying, but in the end of the day we are just self censoring ourselves from other platforms.

Social media is here to stay and the masses use it as a way to get information/entertainment.

Making burner accounts are a thing, share information that goes against the status quo, I think that is admirable.

Only way people are exposed to certain viewpoints is by joining that bubble and going against the narrative.

In the end this gets complicated for various reasons, what do y’all suppose is the best course of action to go against the status quo?

Off topic thought I had when I saw this, more on the system being the problem.

This made me think of an interview with Richard Wolff and Lex Fridman.

Richard tries to explain his views on Marxism and Communism, #295.

He mentions problems with academia, and how it is tied to the corporate world.

Around 1:41:00, gov’t/academics/corporations are all tied together in keeping the same system going.

To try and get back to topic, it may have to do with the kind of people needed to excel in competitive areas like a university/company/government.

Less on taking care of people and more on competing with each other to be the best…

Reminds me of sports and the fierce environment it produces. Some people adapt and become like them or they feel isolated.

Seems like it for now

Until next time, we shall keep looking for ways to get around it!

What is your setup?

What have you tried?

Haven’t thought of small phones in a while, unless you look into dumb phones, like Nokia 3310 reboot.

Great little phone, but does not have smart features that smart phones have.

Nice to see the sizes being compared, I was not expecting it, but wow have phone become huge.

I wonder if Pine64 or similar would create a small phone, they have launched phones before…

Thanks!

The picture was shared on other social media sites, I did not see it mentioned in Lemmy or similar.

Saw this pic floating around.

Thanks fpr explaining how it works!

I did not know that much about it.

Looks like y’all want to go on a feel trip.

:)

Word of mouth, when possible.

It depends on the goal of the people, I follow some that mention what helps them.

You are right, most could not.

I wuld say that any way to support them works, not just with money…

I think the best way to support them is through donations.

Most have links to them.

Ads are out of hand, that is why many left cable and subscription based platforms are the next thing.

Piracy is growing and that is good, it forces these greedy companies to inovate or to do better.
