The result is always failure, because entrepreneurship is a rare skill and generally missing from the ranks of unionistas. No successful firm on the market can be run like a collective because collectives are poor environments to sift out genius. <br dc.sunsetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826161742700965939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-87438736100638413442011-02-23T06:44:02.392-05:002011-02-23T06:44:02.392-05:00Anonymous' "idea" is written from th...Anonymous' "idea" is written from the same thieving mindset that stole GM from (stock/bondholders) and gave it to unions.
