I can remember how in the eighties, companies would boast of flextime and
providing childcare to show how progressive they were. I would like to see
the pseudo company become common if it could be competitive by being well
run. I remember a 60 Minutes story about a steel mill where the workers
actually bought it and then ran it for a profit.

same way that "farming" has gone from 98% of the economy to 2% of the

Cool! So we only work for personal satisfaction and for status? Sounds
good to me! The farming analogy is interesting. I suppose you meant
working for the base necessities of life. I could see powerful gov't and
corporate interests wanting to stop this level of prosperity and personal
freedom from ever happening, though.
