  • 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.

    • 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]

        • 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?
