Co-op delivery company in the works?!

Great on Tony, doing the damn thing!

https://fitsmallbusiness.com/what-is-a-cooperative-co-op/

A cooperative, or co-op, is an organization owned and controlled by the people who use the products or services the business produces. Cooperatives differ from other forms of businesses because they operate more for the benefit of members, rather than to earn profits for investors.

Co-ops are organized to provide competition, improve bargaining power, reduce costs, expand new and existing market opportunities, improve product or service quality, and obtain unavailable products or services (products or services that profit-driven companies don’t offer because they see them as unprofitable).

Cooperatives present lots of opportunities for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. In this post, I’ll go over how cooperatives work, why you should form one, and how you can start one for your business.

I won’t kink shame you, you do you!

Have a great day!

Not sure what your point is.

Good luck!

I prefer dots over spaces.

Spaces can mess with stuff, double space…

Did you not read all of my response.

Consistency is required when looking at the problems we have.

This is happenong to Musk, but the same happens to people on the left.

Smears happen without proof, just for going against the status quo.

This seems to be a smear for not siding with Israel, and calling for peace.

Your response does not help make your point, it does the opposite.

I am not sure what you are trying to get across.

Reminds me of Trump derangement syndrome.

Again, we have enough to bash Musk as is, no need to lie or make up things.

Yes, but this article seems to be a smear of MSM.

Due to not siding with Israel and instead talking of ceasefire or peace, same with Ukraine/Russia.

Looking at the talk he had with Lex Fridman.

This is a win for the status quo bloods and crips.

To me, there is a lot to bash Musk on, but the twitter files confirmed and should have enlightened many of the problems we currently have with politicians/media/corporations being in bed with each other.

This seems similar to the Russiagate stories pushed by legacy media.

Smearing opposition of the status quo, then once the population believes the lies, the truth starts to comes out years later by MSM journalists.

I make mistakes and I am willing to learn, so please if anyone can articulate and explain in detail?

Why all the baseless hate against Musk, while we already know enough about how he treats his workers to be against him. No need to be hostile or to lie when talking about him.

edit:2 words

Seems like a positive, good on FCC.

Seems to not be a race problem, it is more on working class vs. wealthy class problem.

Wealthier neigborhoods vs. working class neigborhoods.

Interesting news to follow, can’t wait for independent yters and the like to start commenting on this.

Oh, okay.

I think I understand a bit of what you are saying.

Thanks!

Well, IMO the coups did what was required, same in latin america.

It stopped the political party that was going to rule and chaos would ensue.

Due to party plans of interfering with US corporations and allies.

State polls show he is tied or winning in some cases over biden.

When certain two unnamed 3rd party people are included, numbers shift in an interesting way.

For biden to win, polling needs to be couple points higher, not just tied.

One year out, so… will be interesting to see how well polling works this time around.

Not too sure on that, US has many ways to force cease fires as good as starting coups.

I think if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, it would be done.

Paywall, I don’t think [web archive org] link is allowed to be posted, when looking at the list of rules…

The Public Defender’s Office, an independent arm of the Justice Ministry, said on Thursday that its lawyers would not represent the Oct. 7 defendants, arguing that the existing legal process for terrorist cases was ill-suited to this situation. It was a significant declaration for an agency created to defend society’s most disfavored, including indigent criminal defendants and people accused of terrorism.

“Much more needs to be done to protect civilians and to make sure that humanitarian assistance reaches them,” Mr. Blinken told reporters in New Delhi after a diplomatic tour through Middle Eastern and Asian nations. “Far too many Palestinians have been killed. Far too many have suffered these past weeks. And we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them.”

Hamas and Israel are negotiating two hostage release proposals, one involving a small number of people and one that could involve 100 or more civilians being held in Gaza, according to officials briefed on the talks.

“We have very serious concerns that these amount to disproportionate attacks in breach of international humanitarian law,” said Volker Türk, the U.N.’s high commissioner for human rights. He cited Israeli strikes on six locations in Gaza, including Jabaliya, Gaza City and Khan Younis.

Israeli police detained five prominent Arab Israeli politicians for several hours on Thursday, including former lawmakers, as they prepared to hold a vigil in the city of Nazareth to protest Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, two Israeli civic associations said. The groups denounced the action, saying it constituted suppression of free speech.

Construction workers from India should not be used to replace Palestinian workers in Israel, said major Indian trade unions in a joint statement issued on Thursday, 9 November. The signed statement was released on behalf of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) , All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) and even BJP-affiliated Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) among others.

Stating that Indian trade unions must rise in solidarity with Palestine and reject the “disastrous” idea, the central trade unions have called upon the Indian government to scrap the agreement signed in May 2023, during Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen’s visit, to send 42,000 workers to Israel.

The Israeli construction industry also employs Chinese and Moroccan workers, but is feeling the absence of the large Palestinian workforce. Israel has therefore also approached China and Moldova for workers, but in the wake of Beijing’s hard line on the Israel–Palestine conflict, it is doubtful whether more Chinese workers would come to Israel.

Talking about being a pirate in the high seas.

Torrents and 3rd party sites, and such.

I don’t see it as sad.

Just social media/forum talks with some peeps.

All is good, have a great day!

Not sure how usernames determine everthing about someone.

Viewpoints will not always align with your prefered way of thinking.

It is good to learn to talk with people that are different from what you think, so as to help when talking with others.

Hope you have a great day!

That is not how the world works.

Have a great day!
