Worked for a company where the retirement plan was an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), they promised huge numbers over time, and the better the company did the more it would be worth. Got a letter years after leaving saying the company's in massive debt, so the ESOP was now worthless, horray

Bandcamp has made a very bad decision which will hurt musicians. BC is requiring all artists and labels to use Stripe payment processor that has closed accounts due to their policy of no sensitive content sold with their system but worse, their policy is to equal LGBT content with sensitive content.

Private equity killing a chain is nothing new, but loyal customers taking the remnants and trying to rebuild it into a coop/esop is. #JoannFabrics

beginning of the month, I "diversified" a portion of my company's ESOP.

read several tax warnings along the way when applying for the payout.

completed the payout with a bank 3 weeks ago.

received a letter from the ESOP company informing me of the tax stuff if I took cash instead of a transfer.

I'll start my BlueSky with a happy announcement:

Pleased to report that my paper with Ohad Kammar, "Coverage Semantics for Dependent Pattern Matching", has been accepted to ESOP!

Two founders A and B start a company with 50/50 ownership.

Two years later they raise $1M at $5M post from investor C who now owns 25%, and they create an ESOP (employee stock option pool) with another 20%, so (fully-diluted) the ownership levels are A=B=27.5%, C=25%, ESOP=20%.

The golden ticket is in ESOP that's never ever aggressively taken on debt other than for the ESOP.

3. Demand Democrats go on a Teddy Roosevelt trust busting spree of all major corporations. Have broken up companies adopt ESOP as well as co-determination policies.

4. Demand Democrats pass legislation promoting cooperatives and unions.

Die 3 Top-Themen des »Ministerium für eine solidarische Zukunft«: öffentlicher Wohnungsbau, Rentenreform – und die Demokratisierung der Wirtschaft.
Eigentümer werden dazu bewegt, ihre Unternehmen an die eigene Belegschaft zu übergeben.

B Corps and worker-owned businesses tend to be good options to support for diversity. Here are some directories. Shoutout to King Arthur Baking, an employee-owned B Corp.

Support worker-owned businesses. It increases the resiliency of your community economies by keeping wealth local, and it takes away from billionaires/wealthy shareholders who absolutely do not need any more money.

currently doing calculations: if i win the powerball, would that be enough money to buy the entire NWSL and turn it into an ESOP scheme to eventually transfer ownership to the players

Biggest difference is that the ESOP is always a tax-deferred retirement plan.

Neither | We love to fight giant insects in this house... Right? Tok faces the Vekrum in a life of death battle!
#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #bvm #bipoc #amwriting #Fantasy #SFF
“Throw the powder again, Esop and I will go for the legs," Tokonus shouted slamming his fist into the ground. Esop readied his axe and nodded narrowing his eyebrows. “Go for the joints!” Tokonus sprinted with every drop of strength that he could muster. As he came closer to the Vekrum it reared back as if to attack but was interrupted by the Umakek’s powders. Pulling his arms back, Tokonus pushed his body with his flicker moving at a blinding speed before slashing through one of the many legs of the Vekrum. As the insect roared, Esop brought his own axe down onto the opposing leg chopping through as well. The Vekrum had no choice but to catch itself on its arms, lowering its head. “Perdo, Matok, loose!” Neither of the Umakek needed to be told twice and with masterful aim tore their feathered fangs into the eyes of the Vekrum. Another howl escaped the Vekrum, but not without retaliation. Without warning the beast swung its body around knocking back the group of warriors. Blood and bones went flying in all directions as the Vekrum began to mount a retreat. It was scared!

If you subscribe to the labeler which I'll link you'll see for me she/her and drae/draer. It represents Esopus a dragon woman who is me. That's what I'm trying to get everyone who knows me to see. It got me interested in outfits and fursuits. These things are what will keep me thriving. #PrideMonth
