All the more reason why we need workplace democracy. The elites clearly do not know how to run a business and the economy is the final frontier for democracy to expand into.

Something tells me that the workers at Meta, if given a chance to have self-determination, would run a better shop than Zuckerberg himself.

These workers have a better gig that 99% of Americans. They certainly have "self-determination".

If they can run it better than Zuck they are free to try, believe it or not.

What would they do with this self-determination? It's not that Meta is producing something useful you know.

Elections for executive leadership doesn't sound all that crazy to me. With 30+ years in the business I have witnessed my fair share of executive whackos that wouldn't have passed a basic sniff test if they had convince workers that they should be the one leading them.

One might almost say workers should... own the means of production?

That's a very un-american way of thinking... Didn't you get the last 100 years of propaganda against any kind of socialist thoughts?

You filthy communist!
