This is one place where the Italian co-ops shine because they decided to make "paying it forward" a legal requirement via the rule that co-ops have to pay a 3% slice of their surplus into a co-op development fund. That would be game changing in the US: #WorkerCoop conversions would be happening at a radically different scale if CFNE had, say, $300MM or $3B in assets rather than the $30MM it took 40+ years to build up...
