Millions of baby boomer business owners are set to retire, yet many do not have succession plans. If these businesses are sold to corporations or close down, communities will suffer. This is where transitioning to worker ownership emerges as the clear solution.

I was recently thinking about Propaghandi shows of my youth. They would often mention the Mussolini quote about merging corporate and state power to claim fascism, but misunderstand what "corporate" meant in that context or the direction of influence that merge implied. That seems relevant now.
Been listening to the 1990s & 2000s punk music of my youth and it's pretty funny what kind of regime they were willing to call fascist

The academy that trains most of the officers of the nation’s sea-going law enforcement and search and rescue force has eliminated “climate change” and related terminology from its curriculum in an effort to conform to President Donald Trump’s policies.
US Coast Guard Academy censors ‘climate change’ from its curriculum
The terminology will be stricken in classes for future officers in a service that confronts global warming every day, a move some say will weaken it.
