Like some else already said co-ops and employee owned businesses. But they all require capital to start, maybe a bank could give you a business loan.
Maybe a government program that doesn’t have a profit motive like the post office?

I wish we could band together and create a company not with the motive of profit for shareholders, but with the motive of wages for employees.
What if the goal was to hire and pay as many people as much as possible, all while creating something really neat.
How do we start this?

Yeah I think a government sponsored program could actually draw a lot of votes, I know Ms. Harris briefly touched on this with her 20k for small business start ups, but its kind of off mark from what I was proposing.

Step 1: Wake up
Step 2: Realize that people have never been okay with the idea of paying more, they only like to talk about making more (somehow, magically). I feel like rising prices are actually the only thing that can bring down Trump and MAGA, that’s how much people hate it

Yeah those are great points to consider.
I hope you have a good day.

They are called co-ops. Capitalism is fundamentally broken broken, so your idea will not work at larger scales under the current system

Yeh I’m aware of employee owned and co-cooperatively owned companies, but in my experience those are often used as marketing buzzwords.
I think video game development could actually be a space where this could work, but with the saturation of indie and low effort games, a golden opportunity may have already passed.
