Great article. There's something incredibly entertaining about political power struggles among bobos.

What a dreary little Leninist world that must be.

As for myself, my time (both on the job and with my family) is far too valuable to waste a night every week bagging mangoes.

Moreover, by doing so I am depriving some less fortunate person of a full-time job.

I am happy to keep patronizing my local for-profit grocery store.

Workers in a local Co-op in Asheville got the bright idea to unionize (baggers, stockers and cashiers) for higher wages. They got the union(Teamsters), which drove up prices that resulted in a competing co-op opening up and taking 1/2 the business.

We patronize the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier. They have stuff like cheeses you can't get anywhere else. But it certainly is an interesting place.

My first reaction was that no one should be a member of a food co-op. My second was that every liberal should be forced to join a co-op or a kibbutz, to cure them of their liberalism.
