@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net @noracodes in the utility industry they frequently make the distinction between infrastructure that they own outright and shared infrastructure whose costs are "socialized" (industry term!)

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net i guess you just get to hear my mini-rant about what are effectively coops being faced with the choice to just become owners

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net sorry, i misunderstood

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net the make or break for a small operation where the owners are providing all the labor is what they do when they need more help and what they do when the the opportunity arises to leverage the value their users create.

most small operations fail anyway, so i wait to see what happens at these inflection points

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net if people need to get paid, i want them to get paid on their own terms without harming me.
