students of workers' control/ownership _in practice_ know that there's
a structural reason within a system of workers' control (i.e.,
competition) which encourages workers' culture to be economistic.
That's why both the late Yugoslavia and Mondragon tried to put worker
co-ops into a context of a social networks.

that makes sense, but not for the case of a distant kind of pollution,
like the kind that promotes global warming.

I'm outta here. Gotta work.
