It breaks even. We lose ten, twenty grand every year. But then the people who are working say, Look, I'll kick this back in, I don't need to take this profit share. It's very cooperative.
I think I have it all. But I won't say that the credit for all that goes to me. I think the credit for all that goes to everybody around me.

There are large cooperatives all across this country. Land O'Lakes is a $12 billion club functioning all across America. There are rural electric co-ops in 47 states. Ace Hardware is a cooperative.

What's interesting is that you can have a set that's very calm, very smooth, very cooperative... and end up with a terrible movie.
