being able to support a candidate for POTUS who is promoting worker-owned businesses.

I studied worker-ownership in grad school in the 80s, and have always been mystified

effectively anchors both jobs and capital into the local economy, and plows most profits
back into the local economy as well. It's a win/win/win for local communities.
