Never said anything was out of people's reach intellectually. I'm saying the dude stocking shelves is most likely not going to be able to jump into a bunch of workflows and processes that someone who does marketing stuff for a business deals with unless he gets trained or has done that stuff before somewhere else. Maybe he tells the boss at some point "Hey, I can do that **** and drive sales, brand awareness, etc." But you and I both know that kind of thing doesn't happen often, which is why the owner ends up hiring an outside company or a local individual with a track record if they actually spend money on the
PR/marketing/whatever side of the business.

we have managers at my job that have to ask the employees the most basic questions about how things operate because they've no idea, they used to manage a Lowe's or something
it's beyond stupid
as there are already functioning worker co-ops that can even compete with corporations, we know the model works, next step is to simply government mandate it

I've got personal anecdotes about people I've met in business too, but they won't convince you that, you know, there are people out there who know what they're doing even if I explained everything in excruciating detail.
What do you think of employee owned companies like WinCo Foods?
