1. Workers as owners.

What a great idea. Great example to use against Ayn Rand nuts.

2. When Dan Price announced this a few years ago...

I switched my credit card processor to gravity payments. I don’t often need customer service but when I do it’s first rate. And I like the idea that they are being paid well. Their rates are better than most companies and really haven’t had any reason to check other companies.

I recall that he had a falling out with his brother and they some employees left because they didn’t think everyone should be paid as much as they earned.

3. My one experience with his company gave me a LOT of respect for them.

I'm part of a small non-profit club. We have a couple of events each year where we have a sale, and also wanted to start taking cards for membership.

Someone recommended Gravity, so a few years ago I contacted them and was getting an account set up. They asked what out sales volume was, and when I told them (very low) they said that their fee structure would make their service a bad match for us, and recommended we go to Square. Even gave us a referral code for a big chunk of free processing - with their main competitor.

They are a very good and ethical company, in several ways, and I've had no qualms about recommending them several times.

4. RWer's are losing the "culture war" shit they started on so many facets

Basing the unchecked greed, the anti-scientific bullshit, stacking the lies one upon another... sure, how could they lose?
So many their own constituency paying the ultimate price of this wackjob bufoonery.

5. Trickle up. Guess what?

It works.
