My #introduction:
I'm Chris, an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn. When I'm not surrounded by six-year-olds, I enjoy baking whole-grain sourdough, running, tending my rooftop garden, tinkering with my computer.
I'm also into cooperative movements and collective/communal living. I think we can make a better world by dismantling hierarchies and disarming systems of power and oppression. (What does that look like in practice? Let's chat.)
So, hello!

@cardamomo You know that cooperatives will always lose to traditional businesses, right?
@vampire I don't believe that. I see large-scale cooperatives that are major players in certain markets. I'm thinking of REI, Cabot, Organic Valley, Equal Exchange.
@cardamomo Well, I am convinced your belief is wrong. Cooperatives don't specialize in management. They suffer from a mini socialist calculation problem.
