   "If coops are so good, how come investors and shareholders everywhere aren't demanding their corporations be turned into coops" might be the funniest take on coops I have ever seen.

     Wow. Was that someone who doesn't know what coops are?

     @lnxw48a1 It was in the HN thread on coops so not a big surprise.
     
     The surprise was that this kind of clueless comment was actually in the vast minority, it's a pretty good thread.

     On second thought, this person is making a joke.

     @lnxw48a1 It's possible that this is some stone cold deadpanning, but the tone of the whole comment doesn't feel like it to me. Impossible to say for sure.
     
     I had a quick look at their other comments and they're neither jokester nor coop enthusiast, just a normal HN in some startup selling some premium priduct.

     @clacke On the other hand, it is the strongest argument against certain forms of magic that I am aware of.

     Failure to employ a top-tier fortune teller would be gross mismanagement if fortune telling worked.
