Oh, and I mean an #electric-acoustic.
Something like this:

More-so for recording or as a second guitar on stage.
Live, I figure I'd use a guitar with #piezo pickups and maybe an octave pedal. Who knows.
I think I just need to find a dozen multi-instrumentalists. 😜

(Unsure which I'd go with as they have several fantastic models!)
Imagine sticking i.e. SD Black Winter pickups in here! 🤔
🤤 😂

WE CAN DO BETTER THAN CAPITALISM

We Are Democracy at Work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0JjebrXhqM&t=22s&ab_channel=DemocracyAtWork

We’ve been told time and time again that capitalism supports democracy, but we spend most of the day in a place where we have no vote… our workplace.
A democratic society needs to have democracy in the workplace.
We are Democracy at Work, a worker-led, small-donor-funded non-profit, making media that says we can do better than capitalism - an unjust economic system that is at odds with democracy.
For us, critiquing the system isn’t taboo, it’s a crucial step to a better world.

The Future of the Web is Employee Owned.
The next wave of marketplaces, services, and apps should build a network of cooperative infrastructure.

"Venture capital uses investor ownership to drive companies toward a quick, value-maximizing exit. Co-ops, in contrast, are designed to be owned by their participants rather than outside investors, prioritizing social value over the long term." https://www.colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2020/04/16/when-co-ops-and-venture-capital-meet

#introduction Part 8: traction
In 2020 we converted our #socialenterprise #construction company into an #employeeowned #coop, & #SeedCommons & its local affiliate #Baltimore Roundtable for #EconomicDemocracy (#BRED) invested $1.5MM & we started building our #IREP. Covid slowed us a bit, but this fall Seed/BRED approved another $1.1MM & we purchased our 9th rowhome. In 2023 we hope to get to 30. We are hiring. We are rebuilding neighborhoods. Workers & tenants own the wealth they are creating.

I'd best get some hashtags going to try to find the kind of people I want to know here.

Perhaps a warning that some things I'm interested in don't overlap with others for many people.

In no particular order.

Great industrial biography of #ExitToCommunity made by @BobsRedMill@twitter.com founder Bob Moore.

From Jeff Robbins on Twitter:

"I no longer have control in the company’s future, but I couldn’t be happier about what it has become.

As someone who grew up steeped in #FamilyFarm ideology and has been highly skeptical of it as an adult, this article is really thought provoking: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/06/america-loves-the-idea-of-family-farms-thats-unfortunate.html

In particular, it really got me thinking of what secularized #EmployeeOwned versions of the Hutterite farms might look like? What with #VT's family farm dairy industry being in slow-motion decline, I'd love see alternative large-scale models, if anyone knows of any?

Recent survey: 72% of Republicans and 74% of Democrats in the #USA would prefer to work for an #EmployeeOwned company rather than for capitalists or the state. :thonking:

"More U.S. Businesses are Becoming #WorkerCoops: Here’s Why" in #FastCompany:

"And with millions of baby boomer-owned businesses set to change hands in the upcoming decades, this transition could be an opportunity to create more democratic workplaces across the country–if business owners, workers, and advocates can work together to convert these enterprises into #EmployeeOwned #cooperatives."

Observation: A difference between #SharedCapitalism and #EconomicDemocracy is that the profitable sale of an #employeeowned company is a triumph for advocates of the former, but a tragedy for advocates of the latter.
