Inclusivity is key to democracy. This means equal voting rights in our politics, but it can't end there. The economy also affects us in many ways.
What does inclusivity mean in the context of economics? It means inclusivity in ownership, the vehicle of economic power. It means worker ownership.

Worker ownership is proven to create far more equitable pay ratios. The average for worker-owned cooperatives in the United States is 2-to-1.
Unfortunately, it seems like almost no one really brings this up as the alternative. That is why we must continue to talk about it so that awareness expands.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024.
The median barista made just $14,674.
That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio.
The largest of all S&P 500 companies.
Every single worker should walk out.
Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!
