to CB: can you make a substantiated case for capitalists putting co-ops out
of business?  of course one would be for banks to lend at higher interest
rates as JD says.  what other destructive mechanisms do they have?

CB: Credit unions are coops. Recently there was an effort by big banks to get a federal law passed that would restrict credit unions.

My parents live in housing structured as a coop. That is rare. But that is only indirect evidence of how big biz may limit the proliferation of the form.
