@umbrella@cyberpunk007 Some big UK brands don’t run on an “all money is for one guy” model. John Lewis (dept store) and Waitrose (supermarket) are a partnership: the staff own it. Then we have lots of Co-operatives but the main one is mostly known for being a supermarket: member/ownership is £1 and you can vote at the AGM, get discounts and choose charities. It’s not perfect - they all exist in a capitalist system - but there are other ways of running businesses that aren’t for pure profit.
