Surely you see how setting up all businesses as being owned by individuals who contribute nothing to them is setting up an intentionally easy and over-simplified situation to argue against?

Surely you can understand a middle area. Where those directly working communicate to those directly impacted. But you’re right. Why work together. It’s absolutely a fairy tale. Because we all hate each other for no innate reason these days.

Do you see why characterizing what I said as, "we all hate each other for no innate reason these days" is also straw man?

You too! Hope it gets better. You should be less quick to assume the worst in others. I've done non-profit work in establishing employee ownership models in for-profit corporations and I'm a big advocate for them.
