Sounds an awful lot like communism to me.
I'm in.
I'm surprised no one here has organized something like this yet.
I'm sure the ruling class would get rid of it pretty quickly.
How would they go about it, do you think? Is there a legal way such a thing could be shut down?
They banned collective bargaining, they can ban anything
You need a lot of money to start something like this, money that usually comes from investors who are expecting a return at some point. And if it gets started with too little funding, the big competitors can afford to sell at a loss for a while to force it out of business.
Something like this would have to be organized by a government, and consequently won't happen under capitalism. Because if a government would be willing to go to that length, they could just as easily punish the companies currently profiting of off people's misery.
