You speak of West like there was some other countries blooming with coops ;)

These changes don't seem to be - pun intended - game changers. It's easy to start a run a coop in UK, just like any other business. Red tape is close to zero.

@yogthos

Ok, but this Mondragon looks like a classic "guild of professionals" that work in B2B environment.

I also operate in a kind of a infosec consulting coop, but that's also B2B and very narrow field.

I'm wondering why there's no consumer-facing coops that sell books and are able to deliver them in a few days?

@yogthos

UK has a very strong coop traditions and EU has multi-billion programs for fostering *any* kind of startups you wish.

Yet, there are few globally recognized brands that started here, not to mention being coops.

@yogthos In #uk I'm using at least 2 food coops, #coop mobile operator and would love to switch to a electronics and books trading coops.

Food coops work well and I'm ready to pay slightly more.

Phone coop has IT portal like in 2000's and ridiculous data plans.

The other coops... don't exist.

@yogthos

We have a global market, they *could* have appeared in any other large economy like EU.

Yet they didn't, the closest to Amazon like Alibris however offer significantly inferior delivery times and service (first hand experience, I did switch to Alibris purely for ideological reasons).

P.S. not arguing, more of trying to understand it...

@rysiek Sure, only if that's no burden!

@rysiek Ha, you really live in IS? Could you do me a favour - I need SIM from Siminn and Vodafone.is, will cover all expenses...

@yogthos

If it could, why it didn't? That's the first question I'm asking myself in those endless discussions where a popular but inferior X is compared to unpopular but allegedly superior Y...

@yogthos On the other hand, could a cooperative build an enterprise attracting so many customers as Amazon?

@design_RG Deauth works pretty well but is WPA cracking practical these days at all? Most APs will just enforce password lengths that are too long to crack in reasonable time...
