Except our entire sociopolitical system here doesn't incentivize lofty, crunchy-granola companies. The same reason why we're in this mess in the first place is, well... because we're in this mess in the first place. I.e. you have the causality backwards: we don't need alternative orgs to save us, we need to outlaw the more ruthless, race-to-the-bottom business practices that are not only legal, but encouraged. It's not a coincidence that it's getting harder and harder to complete with big, entrenched players, and a worker co-op can't do much when Google has more money than several small countries combined.
which is the process by which big entrenched players make it hard for others to compete with them. Consider this quote:
"I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators."
That's not a quote from Bernie Sanders; that's a quote from Mark Zuckerberg.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but my default assumption is that anything coming out of the political machine will benefit the big entrenched players at others' expense.
